CV & UA (written, pvt, motion maps)

Front

What is a motion map?

Back

A visual representation that shows the position of an object at different times, indicating its motion direction and speed.

Front

What does 'constant velocity' mean?

Back

An object is moving at a steady speed in a straight line without changing its direction.

Front

What does 'getting faster' indicate in a motion map?

Back

The object is accelerating, meaning its speed is increasing over time.

Front

What does 'slowing down' mean in the context of motion?

Back

The object is decelerating, meaning its speed is decreasing over time.

Front

How can you identify a backward motion in a motion map?

Back

The arrows in the motion map point in the opposite direction of the positive reference direction.

Front

What is the significance of a position vs time graph?

Back

It visually represents an object's position over time, allowing us to analyze its motion.

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 steep slope on a position vs time graph represent?

Back

The object is moving quickly; the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.

Front

What does a curve on a position vs time graph indicate?

Back

The object is accelerating or decelerating; the slope is changing.

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative velocity?

Back

Positive velocity indicates motion in the forward direction, while negative velocity indicates motion in the backward direction.
