Unit 1 Review

Front

What is the speed of an object and the direction of its motion?

Back

Velocity

Front

What does a position-time graph indicate when both objects are speeding up?

Back

Both objects are speeding up.

Front

A car goes 3 miles North, then 4 miles West. What is the car's displacement?

Back

5 miles Northwest.

Front

What is happening during D-E on a graph with constant velocity?

Back

Constant velocity of 6.

Front

A car goes 3 miles North, then 4 miles West. What is the car's distance?

Back

7 miles.

Front

Define displacement in physics.

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled, while displacement is the straight line from start to finish.

Front

What does a flat line on a position-time graph represent?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.
