Motion (velocity & acceleration)

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest path from the initial to the final position.

Front

What does acceleration measure?

Back

Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (final velocity (v_f) - initial velocity (v_i)) / time (t).

Front

What unit is used to measure distance?

Back

Kilometers (km) or meters (m).

Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, regardless of direction.

Front

If a car travels 60 km in 1 hour, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time = 60 km / 1 hour = 60 km/h.

Front

What does the term 'final velocity' refer to in motion?

Back

Final velocity (v_f) is the velocity of an object at the end of a time interval.

Front

What is the significance of direction in velocity?

Back

Direction is crucial in velocity because it indicates where the object is moving, making it a vector quantity.

Front

How do you calculate total distance traveled?

Back

Total distance is the sum of all distances traveled, regardless of direction.
