Kinematics Review

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a distance vs time graph represent?

Back

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

Front

What does a flat line on a distance vs time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is stationary (not moving).

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

Back

Negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down (decelerating).

Front

What is the formula for calculating final velocity?

Back

Front

What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph indicate?

Back

A curved line indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.
