Graphing Motion 2

Front

What does it mean for an object to be speeding up?

Back

An object is speeding up when its velocity is increasing over time.

Front

What is the definition of constant speed?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean when an object is not moving?

Back

An object is not moving when its position does not change over time.

Front

What is the relationship between displacement and time?

Back

Displacement divided by time gives the velocity of an object.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

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).
