6.8D - Motion Graphs

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is how far an object travels, measured in units such as meters or kilometers.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is a change in speed or direction of an object over time.

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed.

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a downward slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is how fast an object is moving, while velocity includes direction.

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 unit of measurement for speed?

Back

The unit of measurement for speed is typically meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
