Speed and Motion

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically expressed in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, typically expressed in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

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

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest (not moving).

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.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a velocity-time graph?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the distance traveled by the object.

Front

What is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion occurs when an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time.
