CV & UA (written, pvt, Vvt, motion maps)

Front

What is a position vs time graph?

Back

A graphical representation showing the position of an object over time.

Front

What does a motion map represent?

Back

A visual tool that illustrates the motion of an object, showing its position at different times.

Front

What is speed?

Back

How much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Speed in a given direction.

Front

What does it mean if an object is moving at a constant velocity?

Back

The object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time without changing direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

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

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving quickly.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving backward.

Front

How can you determine if an object is speeding up or slowing down from a motion map?

Back

By observing the spacing of the dots; closer dots indicate slowing down, while farther dots indicate speeding up.
