Unit 1: Motion (I.5A)

Front

What does a graph showing increasing speed indicate about an object's motion?

Back

The object is accelerating.

Front

What is the definition of position in motion?

Back

The location of an object in relation to a reference point.

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity = Displacement / Time.

Front

What does the term 'scalar' refer to in physics?

Back

A variable that measures magnitude only.

Front

How is velocity defined?

Back

The rate of change of speed or direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate about an object's motion?

Back

The object is slowing down.

Front

What is the significance of a reference point in motion?

Back

It is used to determine the position of an object.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for speed?

Back

Meters per second (m/s).
