CV & UA (written, pvt, motion maps)

Front

What does a motion map indicate when it shows backward slowing down?

Back

The object is moving in the backward direction and its speed is decreasing over time.

Front

What does a motion map indicate when it shows forward slowing down?

Back

The object is moving in the forward direction but its speed is decreasing over time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is how much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

What does a position vs time graph represent?

Back

It shows how the position of an object changes over time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What does a constant velocity mean?

Back

An object is moving at the same speed in the same direction over 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).

Front

What does a motion map with evenly spaced arrows indicate?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a motion map with arrows getting closer together indicate?

Back

The object is slowing down.

Front

What does a motion map with arrows getting farther apart indicate?

Back

The object is speeding up.
