MOTION GRAPHS & REVIEW

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can be constant or variable.

Front

What does a constant speed graph look like?

Back

A constant speed graph is a straight line on a distance-time graph, indicating that distance increases uniformly over 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 a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A steep slope on a distance-time graph represents a high speed.

Front

What is uniform acceleration?

Back

Uniform acceleration occurs when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate.

Front

How do you calculate total resistance in a series circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, total resistance is the sum of all individual resistances: R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected end-to-end, so that the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

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

Back

A curved line on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
