FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is average velocity?

Back

Average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time taken. It can be calculated using the slope of a position-time graph.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you determine the starting point of an object on a position-time graph?

Back

The starting point of an object is indicated by the y-intercept of the graph, which shows the position of the object at time t=0.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest, meaning its position does not change over time.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving in the positive direction (away from the origin) over time.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving in the negative direction (towards the origin) over time.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you tell if an object is accelerating from a position-time graph?

Back

If the graph is curved, it indicates that the object is accelerating. A steeper curve means greater acceleration.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean if a position-time graph has a steep slope?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly, as it covers a large distance in a short amount of time.
