Motion Graphs

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

How does velocity differ from speed?

Back

Velocity includes direction, while speed is only the magnitude of movement.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

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.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is decelerating.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for speed?

Back

The unit of measurement for speed is typically meters per second (m/s).

Front

What does it mean if an object has a constant velocity?

Back

It means the object is moving at a steady speed in a straight line.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.
