1D Kinematics Practice

Front

What is 1D Kinematics?

Back

1D Kinematics is the study of motion in a straight line, focusing on concepts such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the change in position of an object, measured as a straight line from the initial to the final position.

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity = Displacement / Time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not changing its position.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is free fall?

Back

Free fall is the motion of an object under the influence of gravity only, with no other forces acting on it.

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity is approximately -9.8 m/s², acting downwards.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
