Motion and Graphing Motions

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is the definition of 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 over time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed of the object.

Front

How do you calculate distance traveled?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

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?

Back

Negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down.

Front

What is a constant velocity?

Back

Constant velocity means an object is moving at the same speed in the same direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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