Force, Motion and Graphing Motion

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is force?

Back

Force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path length, while displacement is the shortest path from the starting point to the ending point.

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A steep line indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

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