What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is a motion graph?

Back

A motion graph visually represents the position of an object over time.

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed of motion.

Front

What does a downward slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting position.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What does a curved line on a motion graph represent?

Back

A curved line indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, while velocity includes direction.

Front

What does it mean if two objects have the same speed on a graph?

Back

It means they are covering the same distance in the same amount of time.
