Understanding Motion and Position

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It indicates how quickly an object is speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What does speed measure?

Back

Speed measures how far an object travels in a given time.

Front

What are the components of velocity?

Back

The components of velocity include speed and direction.

Front

What is NOT a component of velocity?

Back

Time is not a component of velocity.

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

If a car's initial velocity is 10 m/s and its final velocity is 30 m/s over 10 seconds, what is the acceleration?

Back

The acceleration is 2 m/s².

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

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 both speed and direction.

Front

What is a vector?

Back

A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

Front

What is a scalar?

Back

A scalar is a quantity that has only magnitude and no direction.
