Per 1 Motion Graphs Review

Front

What does a constant speed graph look like?

Back

A straight line with a positive slope, indicating that the object is moving at a steady speed.

Front

How do you calculate distance when speed and time are known?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph represent?

Back

An object that is not moving.

Front

How can you determine which runner won a race from a motion graph?

Back

The runner who reaches the finish line first will have the steepest slope or the highest position on the graph.

Front

What does a graph with a negative slope indicate?

Back

The object is moving in the opposite direction.

Front

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

Back

It represents the total distance traveled.

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A higher speed of the object.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

How can you identify a stationary object on a motion graph?

Back

Look for a horizontal line on the graph.
