Objects in Motion

Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

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

Front

What does acceleration mean?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

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 is a scalar quantity?

Back

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity that has magnitude only, such as speed or distance.

Front

What is a vector quantity?

Back

A vector quantity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion occurs when an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is the significance of a speed-time graph?

Back

A speed-time graph shows how speed changes over time, indicating acceleration or deceleration.
