Kinematics

Front

What is Kinematics?

Back

Kinematics is the branch of physics that describes the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

Define velocity.

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time

Front

What does a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

A velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a velocity-time graph?

Back

The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.

Front

How do you calculate the distance traveled using a velocity-time graph?

Back

The area under the velocity-time graph represents the distance traveled.

Front

What is free fall?

Back

Free fall is the motion of an object under the influence of gravity alone, with no air resistance.

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².
