Kinematics

Front

What is the correct unit for velocity in kinematics?

Back

m/s

Front

Does upward movement of an object have a negative or positive velocity?

Back

Positive

Front

What is the term for the change in velocity each second that goes by?

Back

Acceleration

Front

What is the correct unit for distance in kinematics?

Back

m

Front

What is the total distance an object travels with direction called?

Back

Displacement

Front

Define Kinematics.

Back

Kinematics is the branch of physics that describes the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating average velocity?

Back

Average velocity = Total displacement / Total time.

Front

What does a positive acceleration indicate about an object's motion?

Back

A positive acceleration indicates that the object is speeding up in the direction of its velocity.

Front

What is the formula for acceleration?

Back

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