Back

They will hit the ground at the same time.

Front

Define a scalar quantity.

Back

A scalar quantity is completely described by magnitude alone.

Front

Define a vector quantity.

Back

A vector quantity is completely described by a magnitude with a direction.

Front

Which speed depicts a stationary object?

Back

Speed 3 depicts a stationary object.

Front

What type of quantity is speed?

Front

What type of quantity is velocity?

Back

Velocity is a vector quantity.

Front

What is the proper unit for velocity?

Back

Velocity is measured in meters per second (m/s) with direction.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is a scalar quantity representing the total path length, while displacement is a vector quantity representing the shortest path from the initial to the final position.

Front

What does the slope of a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is stationary.
