Speed graph

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, indicating how quickly an object is speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a speed graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line indicates constant speed, meaning the object is moving at a steady rate without acceleration.

Front

What does a downward slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down, or experiencing negative acceleration.

Front

What does an upward slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is speeding up, or experiencing positive acceleration.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means that an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, without changing its speed.

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.

Front

What does 'at rest' mean in terms of motion?

Back

'At rest' means that an object is not moving and its position is not changing over time.

Front

What is deceleration?

Back

Deceleration is a form of acceleration that occurs when an object slows down, resulting in a decrease in speed.

Front

What does a steep slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high rate of acceleration or deceleration, meaning the object is changing its speed rapidly.
