Physics First Unit 3

Front

What does a vt graph represent?

Back

A vt graph represents the velocity of an object over time, showing how the object's speed and direction change.

Front

What does it mean when an object is slowing down in a positive direction?

Back

It means the object's velocity is positive but decreasing, indicating a reduction in speed while moving forward.

Front

What does a constant velocity on a vt graph look like?

Back

A constant velocity is represented by a horizontal line on a vt graph, indicating that the object is moving at a steady speed.

Front

What does it mean when an object is accelerating in a negative direction?

Back

It means the object's velocity is becoming more negative, indicating that it is speeding up while moving backward.

Front

How can you identify if an object is speeding up in a vt graph?

Back

An object is speeding up if the slope of the vt graph is increasing, indicating that the velocity is increasing over time.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a vt graph?

Back

The slope of a vt graph indicates the acceleration of the object; a steeper slope means greater acceleration.

Front

What does a downward slope on a vt graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down, as its velocity is decreasing over time.

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative acceleration?

Back

Positive acceleration means an increase in velocity in the positive direction, while negative acceleration (deceleration) means a decrease in velocity.

Front

What does a vt graph with a flat line at zero indicate?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between velocity and time in a vt graph?

Back

The relationship shows how the velocity of an object changes over a specific time interval.
