Warm Up Review Motion Graphs, Velocity, Speed

Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, also measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest, meaning it is not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed; the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What does a downward slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down or decelerating.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest straight-line distance from the starting point to the endpoint, including direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

If a car travels 100 meters east in 4 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 100 m / 4 s = 25 m/s.
