Physics Semester Exam Review Part 2

Front

What does a positive constant motion look like on a graph?

Back

A straight line with a positive slope.

Front

What is the definition of distance in physics?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

How do you calculate average velocity?

Back

Average velocity = total displacement / total time.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is a scalar quantity representing the total path length, while displacement is a vector quantity representing the shortest path from the initial to the final position.

Front

If an object travels 20 m in 50 seconds, what is its average velocity?

Back

0.4 m/s.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = distance / time.

Front

What is the significance of slope in a distance-time graph?

Back

The slope represents the speed of the object.

Front

If Scott travels north 5 miles, west 3 miles, and then south 2 miles, what is his total distance traveled?

Back

10 miles.

Front

How far did Marie travel before turning around?

Back

5 miles.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

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