Back

Velocity/Speed

Front

A change in velocity over time is known as:

Back

Acceleration

Front

How far had an object traveled at 60 seconds if it covered 40 m?

Back

40 m

Front

What is the magnitude of the boat’s acceleration if it travels 12.0 m while reducing its velocity from 9.5 m/s to 5.5 m/s?

Back

2.5 m/s²

Front

What is the acceleration of a roller coaster that accelerates from 6.0 m/s to 70 m/s over 4 seconds?

Back

16 m/s²

Front

Define acceleration in terms of velocity and time.

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.

Front

What does a flat line on a position vs. time graph indicate?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What does a steeper slope on a position vs. time graph represent?

Back

A higher speed.

Front

If an object moves with constant speed, what does its velocity vs. time graph look like?

Back

A horizontal line.
