Motion and Speed

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line represents that the object is not moving.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

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

Back

A curved line indicates that the object is accelerating.

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 starting point to the endpoint.
