Brown Motion Graphs

Front

What is Brown Motion?

Back

Brown Motion refers to the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid (liquid or gas) resulting from their collision with fast-moving molecules in the fluid.

Front

What does a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

A velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of an object changes over time, indicating whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is accelerating in the positive direction.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line represents constant velocity, meaning the object is moving at a steady speed.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What does it mean if an object has a constant velocity?

Back

It means the object is moving at the same speed and in the same direction over time.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing the quantity of motion an object has.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v).
