What is displacement in Physics on the Move?
Change in object's position
The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and its
velocity
Planes generate lift through wing design based on
aerodynamics
The energy efficiency of cars depends on factors such as vehicle weight and
aerodynamics
What is a key consideration in sustainable transportation?
Energy efficiency
What is one energy-efficient transportation solution that uses battery power instead of fossil fuels?
Electric vehicles
What is one strategy to reduce the environmental impact of transportation?
Promote electric vehicles
Velocity includes both speed and direction.
True
Newton's Laws of Motion govern how forces cause objects to move.
True
What physics principles are used in trains?
Friction, Electromagnetism
What factors affect the energy efficiency of planes?
Aerodynamics, engine efficiency
The fuel type is a key energy efficiency factor for
planes
Bicycles rely on human
power
Optimizing transportation infrastructure and route planning can minimize emissions and energy
use
Physics on the Move
is the study of how objects move and the forces that cause them to
move
What is acceleration in Physics on the Move?
Change in object's velocity
Match the transportation technology with its key physics principles:
Cars ↔️ Newton's Laws, Friction, Energy Conversion
Planes ↔️ Aerodynamics, Newton's Laws
Trains ↔️ Friction, Electromagnetism
Boats ↔️ Hydrodynamics, Buoyancy
Boats float due to buoyancy and move through water based on hydrodynamic principles.
True
Trains use weight, propulsion systems, and
route design
for energy efficiency.
True
Match the transportation mode with its energy efficiency factors:
Cars ↔️ Vehicle weight, engine efficiency
Planes ↔️ Aerodynamics, fuel type
Trains ↔️ Weight, propulsion system
Arrange the transportation modes from highest to lowest environmental impact:
1️⃣ Planes
2️⃣ Cars
3️⃣ Trains
4️⃣ Bicycles
