Distance and Displacement
This term is a scalar quantity
What is distance
This is the standard unit for speed
what are meters/ second
This is the standard unit for velocity
What is m/s
This is the standard unit for acceleration
M/S2
This is the change in the overall position of an object
What is displacement?
This is how you determine the value of distance
What is add up all of the lengths together
Speed is this type of quantity
What is scalar
Velocity can be a positive or negative number. True or false
What is true
This is the formula for acceleration
Vf - Vi /T
This is a term for a quantity without a direction
What is a scalar?
This is how distance varies from displacement
Displacement is a straight line from start to end. Distance is a total length/ amount of space traveled.
True or false. Speed can be negative or zero
False. Speed can be zero but never negative because the negative is indicative or direction
Velocity is this type of quantity
What is a vector
Acceleration is this type of quantity
Vector
This is a term for a quantity with both magnitude and direction
What is a vector
If you displacement line forms a triangle, this is how you determine the value of displacement
What is the Pythagorean theorem?
What is distance/ Time
If you move left of the point of reference or origin point the number will be
Negative
When you maintain a constant speed but change direction, does this show change in acceleration and why
Yes because acceleration can be a change in speed or direction
What is acceleration
If Joe walked 100 meters north, then 100 meters west, 100 meters south, then 100 meters east, what is Joe's displacement?
What is zero
A cyclist took 2 hours to ride 15 miles. What was the speed?
What is 7.5 mph
A car travels at uniform velocity a distance of 100 m in 4 seconds. What is the velocity of the car
What is 25 m/s to the right of the reference point (positive value)
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for a distance of 110 m. Determine the acceleration of the car
What is 11.2 m/s2
This is the displacement of an object divided by time it took. Can be positive or negative in value.
What is velocity
