Sheltered FPC Final Review Semseter 1 (ESL)

Front

What does it mean for an object to be moving to the right and slowing down?

Back

It indicates that the object's velocity is decreasing while it moves in the positive direction (to the right).

Front

What is the relationship between an xt graph and a vt graph?

Back

The xt graph shows the position of an object over time, while the vt graph shows the velocity of that object over the same time period. They are related through the object's motion characteristics.

Front

What senses should you use when making an observation?

Back

You should use all 5 senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing.

Front

What is the purpose of charts and graphs in scientific analysis?

Back

Charts and graphs are used to analyze data, making it easier to visualize and interpret information.

Front

What is the unit for measuring velocity?

Back

The unit for velocity is meters per second (m/s).

Front

Define velocity in physics.

Back

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its position, including direction.

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.

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

How can you determine if an object is accelerating?

Back

An object is accelerating if its velocity is changing, which can be indicated by a change in speed or direction.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a vt graph?

Back

The slope of a vt graph represents the acceleration of the object.
