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 steep slope on an acceleration graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a greater acceleration. The steeper the slope, the faster the change in velocity.

Front

What does a flat line on an acceleration graph represent?

Back

A flat line represents constant velocity, meaning the object is not accelerating.

Front

What is the significance of a downward slope on an acceleration graph?

Back

A downward slope indicates negative acceleration, meaning the object is slowing down.

Front

How can you identify constant acceleration on a graph?

Back

Constant acceleration is represented by a straight line that is not horizontal on an acceleration graph.

Front

What does zero acceleration mean?

Back

Zero acceleration means the object is moving at a constant velocity without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

How do you determine which graph shows the greatest acceleration?

Back

The graph with the steepest slope represents the greatest acceleration.

Front

What does the area under an acceleration graph represent?

Back

The area under an acceleration graph represents the change in velocity over a given time period.

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 direction.

Front

What does a graph with a curve indicate about acceleration?

Back

A curved graph indicates that the acceleration is changing over time.
