Honors Physics Additional Review 2024| Constant Velocity

Front

What is constant velocity?

Back

Constant velocity means an object is moving at a steady speed in a straight line, with no change in direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate average velocity?

Back

Average velocity is calculated by dividing the total displacement by the total time taken.

Front

What does a position vs. time graph represent?

Back

A position vs. time graph shows how an object's position changes over time.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a position vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a faster speed.

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 a vector?

Back

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

Front

What is a scalar?

Back

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

Front

If an object moves 400 meters away and then returns 400 meters, what is its displacement?

Back

The displacement is 0 meters, as the object ends up at its starting point.

Front

What is the formula for calculating displacement?

Back

Displacement = Final Position - Initial Position.
