Motion Maps, Speed, Velocity

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

S = d/t

Front

If a car travels 300 km in 3 hours, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 100 km/h

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

What does a flat line on a motion graph represent?

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving faster.

Front

If a runner completes a 400m lap in 50 seconds, what is their average speed?

Back

Average speed = 8 m/s

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

If an object is accelerating, what can we say about its velocity?

Back

Its velocity is changing.

Front

What does it mean if an object has a negative velocity?

Back

The object is moving in the opposite direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time
