Speed, Velocity, Graphs, Force

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, also measured in meters per second (m/s).

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 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 slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed; the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull acting on an object, measured in newtons (N).

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.
