Motion

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity = Displacement / 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 a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

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

Front

What does a steeper slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed of the object.

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

The unit of speed is meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What is a vector quantity?

Back

A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction, such as velocity and acceleration.
