Review on Graphing Motion

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph represent?

Back

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

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed or rapid change in position.

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 does a downward slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point, or decreasing in position.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken (Speed = Distance/Time).

Front

What does the area under a speed-time graph represent?

Back

The area under a speed-time graph represents the total distance traveled.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What does a change in the slope of a motion graph indicate?

Back

A change in the slope indicates a change in speed or acceleration.
