Front

What is a Position-Time Graph?

Back

A graphical representation showing the position of an object over time, indicating how far it has moved from its starting point.

Front

How do you calculate distance from a Position-Time Graph?

Back

By finding the difference in position at two different times on the graph.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s² on Earth).

Front

What does a flat line on a Position-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

What is a Velocity-Time Graph?

Back

A graph that shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

How do you determine acceleration from a Velocity-Time Graph?

Back

Acceleration is the slope of the line on a Velocity-Time Graph.

Front

What does a negative slope on a Velocity-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a Velocity-Time Graph?

Back

The area under the graph represents the total distance traveled by the object.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).
