Front

What does it mean when an object travels at a constant speed?

Back

It means the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed or direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is how fast an object is moving, while velocity includes both speed and direction.

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.
