Motion Equations

Front

What is the definition of motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What does a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

A velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v) - Initial Velocity (u)) / Time (t).

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 the significance of the area under a velocity-time graph?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the displacement of the object.

Front

What does a negative slope on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down.

Front

What is free fall?

Back

Free fall is the motion of an object under the influence of gravitational force only, with no air resistance.

Front

What is the formula for calculating displacement?

Back

Displacement (s) = Initial Position (s0) + (Velocity (v) * Time (t)) + (1/2 * Acceleration (a) * Time^2).
