Unit 1 Review

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, including direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean when an object is accelerating?

Back

Acceleration refers to the rate of change of velocity 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

How do you calculate total distance traveled?

Back

Total distance traveled is the sum of all distances covered, regardless of direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average velocity?

Back

Average velocity = Total displacement / Total time taken.

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

Back

Negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down.

Front

What is constant motion?

Back

Constant motion occurs when an object moves at a steady speed in a straight line.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be stationary?

Back

An object is stationary when it is not moving and its position does not change over time.

Front

What is the significance of a velocity-time graph?

Back

A velocity-time graph shows how an object's velocity changes over time, allowing for analysis of acceleration and motion.
