graphing motion

Front

What is the line on a motion graph showing when it is moving away from the starting point at a constant speed?

Back

The line represents constant speed, indicating that the object is moving away from the starting point without changing its speed.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is how much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

What does the slope of each line on a motion graph tell you?

Back

The slope indicates the speed of each runner.

Front

How far an object has traveled is referred to as what?

Back

Distance.

Front

If a runner races in the 100 meter dash and takes 10 seconds to finish, what is her average speed?

Back

10 m/s.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What is deceleration?

Back

Deceleration is the process of slowing down or reducing speed.
