Motion Graphs 2

Front

What is a motion graph?

Back

A motion graph visually represents the movement of an object over time, showing how position changes with time.

Front

What does the slope of a motion graph represent?

Back

The slope of a motion graph represents the speed or velocity of the object.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken (Speed = Distance / Time).

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed of the object.

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 a downward slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

How can you represent a stop in motion on a graph?

Back

A stop in motion can be represented by a horizontal line on the graph, indicating no change in position over time.

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

The unit of speed in the metric system is meters per second (m/s).

Front

If an object travels 10 meters in 2 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

The speed is 5 meters per second (10 m / 2 s = 5 m/s).
