CV & UA (written, pvt, motion maps)

Front

What is a Position vs Time graph?

Back

A graphical representation showing the position of an object at various times.

Front

What does a flat line on a Position vs Time graph indicate?

Back

The object is at rest; its position does not change over time.

Front

What does a steep slope on a Position vs Time graph represent?

Back

The object is moving quickly; the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.

Front

What does a negative slope on a Position vs Time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving in the opposite direction.

Front

What is a motion map?

Back

A visual representation that shows an object's position at different times, often using arrows to indicate direction and speed.

Front

How can you determine if an object is speeding up or slowing down from a motion map?

Back

If the spacing between the arrows increases, the object is speeding up; if it decreases, the object is slowing down.

Front

What does it mean if an object is 'at rest' in a motion map?

Back

The object is not changing its position over time; it remains stationary.

Front

What is the significance of the length of arrows in a motion map?

Back

The length of the arrows represents the speed of the object; longer arrows indicate higher speeds.

Front

What does it mean if an object is 'moving backward' in a motion map?

Back

The object is changing its position in the negative direction over time.

Front

What is the relationship between velocity and Position vs Time graphs?

Back

Velocity is the slope of the Position vs Time graph; a positive slope indicates positive velocity, while a negative slope indicates negative velocity.
