Constant Velocity Motion

Front

What is constant velocity motion?

Back

Constant velocity motion refers to the motion of an object that travels the same distance in equal intervals of time, maintaining a constant speed and direction.

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

How can you determine if two objects are moving at the same velocity?

Back

Two objects are moving at the same velocity if they cover equal distances in equal time intervals and are moving in the same direction.

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope on a distance-time graph represents a higher speed of the object.

Front

If two cyclists start at the same point and one cyclist is ahead after a certain time, what can be inferred?

Back

If one cyclist is ahead, it can be inferred that they have a greater velocity than the other cyclist.

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity (v) is calculated using the formula: v = distance (d) / time (t).

Front

What does it mean if two objects have equal velocities at different times?

Back

If two objects have equal velocities at different times, it means they are moving at the same speed and in the same direction at those specific times.

Front

How can you tell which object is moving faster from a graph?

Back

You can tell which object is moving faster by comparing the slopes of their lines on a distance-time graph; the steeper line indicates the faster object.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a distance-time graph?

Back

The y-axis on a distance-time graph represents the distance traveled by the object.
