Front

What is the formula for calculating average velocity?

Back

Average velocity (v) is defined as the change in position (Δx) divided by the change in time (Δt): v = Δx/Δt.

Front

What does a constant velocity graph look like?

Back

A constant velocity graph is a straight line with a positive slope, indicating that the object is moving at a steady speed.

Front

How do you calculate the time taken for a trip if distance and velocity are known?

Back

Time (t) can be calculated using the formula: t = distance/velocity.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, and it includes direction.

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.

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

Back

Negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a velocity-time graph?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the displacement of the object.

Front

How can you determine if an object is accelerating from a graph?

Back

If the slope of the position-time graph is changing, the object is accelerating.

Front

What is the unit of velocity in the SI system?

Back

The SI unit of velocity is meters per second (m/s).

Front

What does it mean if an object has zero velocity?

Back

Zero velocity means that the object is at rest and not changing its position over time.
