Honors Physics Additional Review 2024| Constant Velocity

Front

What is constant velocity?

Back

Constant velocity means an object is moving at a fixed speed in a straight line without changing direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating displacement?

Back

Displacement = Final Position - Initial Position.

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 distance-time graph represent?

Back

A distance-time graph shows how the distance traveled by an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest and not changing its position.

Front

How do you calculate the distance traveled at constant velocity?

Back

Distance = Velocity x Time.

Front

What is a vector quantity?

Back

A vector quantity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction, such as velocity.

Front

What is a scalar quantity?

Back

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity that has only magnitude and no direction, such as mass or temperature.

Front

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

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

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

Back

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