Intro to Physics Unit 6 - Uniform Motion Review

Front

What does 'delta' (Δ) mean?

Back

The change in.

Front

How far something went (scalar)

Back

Distance.

Front

How far an object is from the origin

Back

Position.

Front

How fast an object is moving (scalar)

Back

Speed.

Front

Rate at which an object changes position or how fast an object is moving in a certain direction (vector quantity)

Back

Velocity.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is a scalar quantity representing how much ground an object has covered, while displacement is a vector quantity that refers to how far out of place an object is; it is the object's overall change in position.

Front

What is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion refers to motion at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the unit of speed in the SI system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s).

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 is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
