Constant Velocity Motion Graphs

Front

What is constant velocity?

Back

Constant velocity means an object is moving at a fixed speed in a straight line without changing direction.

Front

What does a position vs time graph represent?

Back

A position vs time graph shows how the position of an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving in the negative direction.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

How is velocity different from speed?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a higher velocity.

Front

What does a velocity vs time graph show?

Back

A velocity vs time graph shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a velocity vs time graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What does a positive velocity indicate?

Back

A positive velocity indicates that the object is moving in the positive direction.
