Motion (Speed, Distance, Time)

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, usually expressed in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

What is time in the context of motion?

Back

Time is the duration in which motion occurs, typically measured in seconds, minutes, or hours.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

If a car travels 150 km in 3 hours, what is its average speed?

Back

Average speed = 150 km ÷ 3 hours = 50 km/h.

Front

What is the formula to calculate distance?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the object falls.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
