Motion Review

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically expressed in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object over time.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

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 represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is stationary (not moving).

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

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

Back

A curved line indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.
