Physics first semester final

Front

On a distance vs. time graph, the steeper the slope _____

Back

the faster the speed

Front

When something has speed in a certain direction it is called ___________.

Back

velocity

Front

Balanced or unbalanced?

Back

unbalanced

Front

The formula: ? = D/T with direction is used to find

Back

Velocity

Front

Speed =

Back

distance / time

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

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

Front

What does a flat line on a distance vs. time graph represent?

Back

It represents that the object is at rest.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / 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).
