Graphing Motion

Front

What does the interval E to F indicate about an object's motion?

Back

The object is slowing down during the interval E to F.

Front

In which time section is the object moving the fastest?

Back

The object is moving the fastest between 20-30 seconds.

Front

How do you calculate the total distance covered by an object?

Back

Total distance is calculated by summing all distances traveled during each interval.

Front

What does it mean when a graph indicates 'The car is stopped'?

Back

It means that the position of the car does not change over time, resulting in a horizontal line on the graph.

Front

What does the interval A to B indicate about an object's motion?

Back

The object is speeding up during the interval A to B.

Front

What is the significance of a velocity-time graph?

Back

A velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph represents an object at rest.

Front

How can you determine if an object is accelerating from a graph?

Back

An object is accelerating if the slope of the distance-time graph is increasing.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity representing how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes direction.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point.
