ICP Unit 1 (Motion) Review

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time needed for the change to occur.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is the distance an object travels per unit of time, while velocity is speed in a given direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the change in position of an object, measured as the shortest distance from the initial to the final position.

Front

How is average velocity calculated?

Back

Average velocity is calculated by dividing the total displacement by the total time taken.

Front

What does a negative velocity indicate?

Back

A negative velocity indicates that an object is moving in the opposite direction to the defined positive direction.

Front

If an object moves 3 units to the right and 4 units to the left, what is its displacement?

Back

The displacement is -1 unit.

Front

What is the unit of acceleration?

Back

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

Front

How does acceleration relate to velocity?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

The formula for acceleration is a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Front

What is the significance of direction in velocity?

Back

Direction is crucial in velocity because it differentiates it from speed, which has no direction.
