Motion Graphs

Front

What is a motion graph?

Back

A visual representation of an object's motion, showing how position, velocity, or acceleration changes over time.

Front

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

Back

The velocity of the object.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What does a downward slope on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is experiencing negative acceleration (deceleration).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object over time.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving quickly.

Front

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

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What does a velocity-time graph show?

Back

It shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

The distance traveled by the object.
