Motion Review

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v) - Initial Velocity (u)) / Time (t)

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

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

Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

What is instantaneous speed?

Back

Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A flat line on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is moving quickly.
