Speed, Velocity Acceleration, Graphs

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time. It is calculated using the formula: Speed = distance/time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction. It includes both the magnitude (speed) and the direction of motion.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

Front

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

Back

A flat line on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is negative acceleration?

Back

Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration, means that the object is slowing down.

Front

What is the formula to calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Front

What does a curved line on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A curved line on a speed-time graph indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating at a changing rate.

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 horizontal line on a speed-time graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line on a speed-time graph indicates constant speed.
