Motion Graphs, SVA, Net Force

Front

What does a negative slope in a motion graph indicate?

Back

Return Home (the object is moving back towards the starting point).

Front

What does a positive slope in a motion graph indicate?

Back

Constant Speed (the object is moving away from the starting point at a steady rate).

Front

What does a flat line in a motion graph represent?

Back

Stopped (the object is at rest and not moving).

Front

What does an increasing slope in a motion graph indicate?

Back

Acceleration (the object is increasing its speed).

Front

What is net force?

Back

The total force acting on an object, taking into account all individual forces and their directions.

Front

If two forces are acting in the same direction, how do you find the net force?

Back

Add the magnitudes of the forces together.

Front

If two forces are acting in opposite directions, how do you find the net force?

Back

Subtract the smaller force from the larger force and take the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

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 it mean if an object has a constant speed?

Back

The object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
