Mass, Motion, and Graph Interpretation

Front

What happens to your mass if Earth's mass is cut in half?

Back

Nothing; mass is not affected by gravitational force.

Front

What is the velocity of an object if it is at rest?

Back

0 m/s

Front

A skier moves from point A to point B, then to point C, and finally to point D. What is her displacement?

Back

140 m

Front

If Jasmine runs 3 laps around a 400 meter track, what is her displacement?

Back

0 m

Front

In which graph are both runners moving at the same speed?

Back

Graph D

Front

Define mass in the context of physics.

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

How does gravitational force affect weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass; it changes with the strength of the gravitational field.
