Particle Motion

Front

What is displacement in particle motion?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, taking direction into account.

Front

What does it mean when an object has an acceleration of 0?

Back

It means the object is moving at a constant velocity, with no change in speed or direction.

Front

How do you calculate the slope of a velocity-time graph?

Back

The slope is calculated by taking the change in velocity divided by the change in time, which represents acceleration.

Front

What does it indicate when a particle hits the ground?

Back

When a particle hits the ground, its position is at 0 relative to the reference point (ground level).

Front

At what time does a particle come to rest?

Back

A particle comes to rest when its velocity becomes 0.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity representing how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion occurs when an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time, indicating constant speed.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is calculated using the formula: a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Front

What does a flat line on a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity, with no acceleration.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a velocity-time graph?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the total distance traveled by the object during that time interval.
