1D Motion Review

Front

What does a position-time graph with a positive slope indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving with a positive velocity.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in accelerated motion?

Back

It means that the object is changing its velocity.

Front

What does a constant velocity look like on a position-time graph?

Back

It appears as a straight line with a constant slope.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What does a position-time graph with a negative slope indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving with a negative velocity.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What does it mean for an object to have a constant speed?

Back

It means the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average velocity?

Back

Average velocity = (final position - initial position) / (time interval).

Front

What does it mean if an object is at rest?

Back

It means the object is not changing its position over time.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a position-time graph?

Back

The slope represents the velocity of the object.
