Velocity!

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to the rate at which an object changes its position. It includes both speed and direction.

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 includes both the speed and the direction of the object's motion.

Front

What does a positive slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate average velocity?

Back

Average velocity is calculated by dividing the total displacement by the total time taken.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object, measured from the starting point to the final position.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time taken.

Front

What is a vector quantity?

Back

A vector quantity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction, such as velocity and acceleration.
