FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a motion graph?

Back

A motion graph is a visual representation of an object's motion, showing how its position, velocity, or acceleration changes over time.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a horizontal line on a position-time graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest, meaning its position does not change over time.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a position-time graph represent?

Back

A straight diagonal line represents constant speed, where the object is moving at a steady rate.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a curved line on a position-time graph indicate?

Back

A curved line indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating, meaning its speed is changing.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a motion graph?

Back

The speed can be determined by calculating the slope of the line on a position-time graph; a steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the displacement of the object over a given time interval.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.
