Fall Semester Review 24/25

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. It is measured in units such as km/hr.

Front

How do you determine if an object is accelerating?

Back

An object is accelerating if its speed is increasing, decreasing, or changing direction over time.

Front

What does a ticker timer measure?

Back

A ticker timer measures the time intervals at which an object moves, helping to analyze its speed and acceleration.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.

Front

What is a vector in physics?

Back

A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration.

Front

How do you add vectors?

Back

Vectors are added by placing them head to tail and drawing the resultant vector from the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector.

Front

What is the significance of a headwind for a plane?

Back

A headwind slows down the plane's speed relative to the ground, potentially causing delays in arrival time.

Front

What does it mean for an object to have constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

How can you predict the position of an object in motion?

Back

You can predict the position of an object by analyzing its speed and the time elapsed.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

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.
