Unit 2 Review - 1D Kinematics '24

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, along with the direction.

Front

What does a position vs. time graph represent?

Back

A position vs. time graph shows how the position of an object changes over time.

Front

What does the slope of a position vs. time graph indicate?

Back

The slope of a position vs. time graph indicates the velocity of the object.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, including direction.

Front

How do you calculate average velocity?

Back

Average velocity = Total displacement / Total time taken.

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 flat line on a position vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not changing its position.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What does the slope of a velocity vs. time graph represent?

Back

The slope of a velocity vs. time graph represents the acceleration of the object.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time taken.
