CV & UA (written, pvt, motion maps)

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is how much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

What does a position vs time graph represent?

Back

A position vs time graph shows how an object's position changes over time.

Front

What does a motion map indicate when arrows are evenly spaced?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What does a motion map indicate when arrows are getting closer together?

Back

It indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does a motion map indicate when arrows are getting farther apart?

Back

It indicates that the object is speeding up.

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 it mean if an object is moving backward at a constant velocity?

Back

It means the object is moving in the negative direction at a steady speed.

Front

How can you determine if an object is accelerating?

Back

An object is accelerating if its velocity is changing over time.

Front

What does a flat line on a position vs time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.
