What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can be a change in speed or direction.

Front

What is deceleration?

Back

Deceleration is a decrease in speed or negative acceleration.

Front

What does constant speed mean?

Back

Constant speed means an object is moving at the same speed over time without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What is no motion?

Back

No motion means an object is at rest and not changing its position.

Front

What is the relationship between acceleration and direction?

Back

Acceleration can occur even when speed is constant if the direction of motion changes.

Front

What is a position vs. time graph?

Back

A position vs. time graph shows how an object's position changes over time.

Front

What does a flat line on a position vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a position vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed of the object.

Front

What is positive acceleration?

Back

Positive acceleration occurs when an object's speed increases over time.

Front

What is negative acceleration?

Back

Negative acceleration occurs when an object's speed decreases over time.
