Motion Graphs

Front

What is the formula to calculate distance when speed and time are known?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

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

Back

Higher speed.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What does a velocity-time graph show?

Back

The relationship between an object's velocity and time.

Front

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

Back

Constant velocity.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The object is decelerating.

Front

If a car accelerates from 20 m/s to 50 m/s in 5 seconds, what is its acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time = (50 m/s - 20 m/s) / 5 s = 6 m/s².

Front

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

Back

The distance traveled.
