Understanding Motion and Position

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does position refer to?

Back

An object's distance and direction from a reference point.

Front

What is motion?

Back

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

Front

What is a scalar quantity?

Back

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

Front

What is a vector quantity?

Back

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

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 direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, including direction.

Front

What is a reference point?

Back

A reference point is a stationary object used to determine the position of another object.
