Kinematics

Front

What is Kinematics?

Back

Kinematics is the branch of physics that describes the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average velocity?

Back

Average velocity = (Final position - Initial position) / Time taken.

Front

Define acceleration.

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the unit of acceleration?

Back

The unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What does a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

A velocity-time graph represents the relationship between an object's velocity and the time elapsed.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate the distance traveled using a velocity-time graph?

Back

The distance traveled is equal to the area under the velocity-time graph.

Front

What is free fall?

Back

Free fall is the motion of an object under the influence of gravitational force only, with no other forces acting on it.

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s² near the surface of the Earth.

Front

What is projectile motion?

Back

Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is thrown into the air and is subject to the force of gravity.
