Motion and Acceleration

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

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

Front

What is instantaneous speed?

Back

Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time.

Front

What is the unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

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

Front

What does a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

A velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest (not moving).

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity = Change in position / Time taken.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a distance-time graph?

Back

The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed of the object.
