Per 2 Motion Graphs Review

Front

What does a motion graph represent?

Back

A motion graph represents the relationship between distance, time, speed, acceleration, or other motion-related variables.

Front

What does acceleration indicate in a motion graph?

Back

Acceleration indicates a change in speed or direction of an object.

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph signify?

Back

A flat line signifies that the object is at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

Speed can be determined by calculating the slope of the distance-time graph.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

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

Back

The area under a speed-time graph represents the distance traveled.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is decelerating.

Front

How do you find the total distance covered in a motion graph?

Back

Total distance can be found by calculating the area under the graph segments.

Front

What does the term 'head start' mean in the context of motion graphs?

Back

A head start refers to an initial advantage in distance that one object has over another at the start of the motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time taken.
