100
What is the equation for average speed?
What is average speed equals total distance over total time.
100
What does a motion diagram show?
What is shows the position of an object at certain times.
100
What does a position-time graph represent?
What is velocity.
100
What is the similarity between speed and velocity?
What is they are essentially calculated the same.
100
What is the unit for distance?
What is meters or a derived unit for meters.
200
What is the equation to find the change in time?
What is the change in time equals final time minus initial time.
200
What is the difference between a particle diagram and a motion diagram?
What is the object is replaced by a series of dots.
200
How can you used a clock to find a time interval?
What is to find the total time by subtraction final by initial.
200
What is the difference between velocity and speed?
What is velocity has direction.
200
What is the unit for time?
What is seconds, minutes, or hours, ect.
300
What is the equation for displacement or change in position?
What is the change in position equals final position minus initial position.
300
In a motion diagram, is the object always even lengths apart at certain times?
What is no.
300
A walker and runner leave your front door at the same time. They move in the same direction at different constant velocities. What does each slope look like?
What is the runner will have a steeper slope because she covers more distance in the same time that the walker has, who covers less distance.
300
What does instantaneous position mean?
What is the position at that exact moment.
300
What is the unit for speed?
What is meters per second, kilometers per hour, ect.
400
What is the equation for average velocity?
What is the average velocity equals (position final - position initial) divided by (final time - initial time).
400
In a particle diagram, explain one way the dots symbolizing motion can be closer together or farther apart.
What is when the object is slowing down or speeding up.
400
A rabbit has a constant velocity. How would the graph change if the rabbit ran twice as fast?
What is the graph's slope would be twice as steep.
400
What does delta (or a triangle preceding a letter) represent?
What is the change.
400
What is the unit for velocity?
What is meters per second, kilometers per hour, ect.
500
What is the simplified equation for average velocity? (HINT: think of speed)
What is average velocity equals delta d divided by delta t.
500
Can motion be inferred by using a reference point?
What is yes, motion does not have to be observed.
500
A rabbit has a constant velocity moving in the positive position. How would the graph change if the rabbit ran in the opposite direction?
What is the slope would be the same but it would be in the negative direction.
500
What does instantaneous speed mean?
What is the speed of an object at that particular motion.
