Front

What does a graph with a straight line indicate about an object's motion?

Back

Constant Speed

Front

What describes the motion between points C-D and D-E if the object is moving in a negative direction?

Back

Constant negative Velocity (moving in a negative direction)

Front

What is the term for the distance and direction of an object's change in position from a starting point?

Back

Displacement

Front

How would you describe the motion represented by a graph with a negative slope?

Back

Return Home (negative slope)

Front

What is the term for the rate of change of position of an object?

Back

Velocity

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled, while displacement is the shortest path from the starting point to the ending point.

Front

What does acceleration refer to in motion?

Back

The rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The object is at rest.
