1st Period Motion Review

What is 1st Period Motion?

Back

1st Period Motion refers to the motion of an object moving in a straight line with a constant speed or with uniform acceleration.

Front

Define distance in motion.

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, including direction.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, expressed as distance/time (e.g., m/s).

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, expressed as displacement/time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, expressed as change in velocity/time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A straight diagonal line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

A curved line indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
