Motion Investigation Flashcard

Front

What is the acceleration of a body moving with constant velocity?

Back

Zero

Front

What does a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicate about an object's motion?

Back

The object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

Which graph represents a baseball player accelerating away from a base located at the origin?

Back

Graph J.

Front

How can you determine the average speed of an object from a distance-time graph?

Back

By calculating the distance traveled over specific time intervals.

Front

What does it mean if an object's speed is increasing over time?

Back

The object is accelerating.

Front

What is the average speed of a toy car traveling 0-2 seconds if it covers 2 meters?

Back

2.0 m/s.

Front

If an object's speed is constant over a time interval, what can be said about its acceleration during that interval?

Back

The acceleration is zero.

Front

What does a decreasing speed indicate about an object's motion?

Back

The object is decelerating.

Front

In a velocity-time graph, what does the slope of the line represent?

Back

The acceleration of the object.

Front

What is the relationship between distance, speed, and time?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.
