Motion, Velocity and Acceleration

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object with respect to time.

Front

Define velocity.

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object over time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

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

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 negative acceleration indicate?

Back

Negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means that an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed of the object.
