Back

The rate at which an object changes its speed or direction.

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

The object is not moving; it is at rest.

Front

What does a steep line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving quickly.

Front

What is the difference between constant speed and variable speed?

Back

Constant speed means the object moves at the same rate, while variable speed means the rate of motion changes.

Front

What is a reference point?

Back

A stationary object used to determine the position of another object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.
