Kinematic Motion Unit 1 Review

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, along with the direction. It is a vector quantity.

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 is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Front

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

Back

A flat line on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is at rest, meaning it is not changing its position over time.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope on a distance-time graph indicates a high speed, meaning the object is covering a large distance in a short amount of time.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a velocity-time graph?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the displacement of the object during that time interval.

Front

How do you determine the acceleration from a velocity-time graph?

Back

The acceleration can be determined by calculating the slope of the line on a velocity-time graph. A steeper slope indicates greater acceleration.

Front

What is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in a straight line, meaning its velocity does not change.
