Linear Motion Part 1 Review, Abbreviated 10/3/24

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

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

If a car travels 10 meters in 2 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 10 meters / 2 seconds = 5 m/s.

Front

What does a negative velocity indicate?

Back

A negative velocity indicates that the object is moving in the opposite direction to the reference point.

Front

How can you determine which of two objects is moving faster using a graph?

Back

Compare the slopes of their distance-time graphs; the steeper slope indicates the faster object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

If a car travels at a speed of 15 m/s for 6 seconds, how far does it travel?

Back

Distance = 15 m/s x 6 s = 90 meters.

Front

What is the significance of the reference point in motion?

Back

The reference point is the starting point used to measure the position and movement of an object.
