Motion

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction over time.

Front

What is the unit for measuring distance?

Back

The unit for measuring distance can be meters (m), kilometers (km), or feet (ft).

Front

What is the unit for velocity?

Back

The unit for velocity is meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled, while displacement is the shortest path from the initial to the final position.

Front

What does a dot diagram represent in motion?

Back

A dot diagram represents the position of an object at equal time intervals.

Front

What does it mean if an object is accelerating?

Back

It means the object is changing its speed or direction over time.

Front

How do you calculate total distance traveled?

Back

Total distance traveled is the sum of all distances covered, regardless of direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).
