graphing motion

Front

What is graphing motion?

Back

Graphing motion involves plotting the position of an object over time on a graph to visualize its movement.

Front

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

Back

The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed of the object.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, often measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint.

Front

What is a velocity-time graph?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving backward.
