Speed, Velocity Acceleration, Graphs Only

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is stationary (not moving).

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed; the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means the object is moving at the same speed throughout the entire time interval.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What does acceleration look like on a graph?

Back

Acceleration is represented by a curve on a distance-time graph, indicating a change in speed.

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph shows how distance changes over time, helping to visualize motion.
