CV & UA (written, pvt, motion maps)

Front

What is a position vs time graph?

Back

A graphical representation showing the position of an object at different times.

Front

What does a motion map represent?

Back

A visual tool that illustrates the motion of an object, showing its position, direction, and speed over time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

How much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

What does 'constant velocity' mean?

Back

An object is moving at a steady speed in a straight line.

Front

What does 'accelerating' mean in terms of motion?

Back

An object is changing its speed or direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What does a flat line on a position vs time graph indicate?

Back

The object is at rest; its position is not changing over time.

Front

What does a downward slope on a position vs time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving backward.

Front

What does an upward slope on a position vs time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving forward.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a position vs time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving faster.
