Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time.

Front

What is a motion graph?

Back

A motion graph visually represents the movement of an object over time, showing how position changes.

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

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

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means an object travels the same distance 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 does a downward slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to its starting point.

Front

How can you determine the fastest object in a race using a motion graph?

Back

The fastest object will have the steepest slope on the graph.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.
