position with time

100

What is the formula for speed

Distance over time

100

The Δ in Δd stands for

Delta

100

A line with a steeper slope will move

faster

100

The X axis on a graph is

Horizontal

200

Speed is how

Fast an object moves

200

What is the formula for velocity

Displacement over time

200

What is the formula used in this question.

Frank drives his boat for 2 hours at a speed of 25kmh. what is his distance?

Δd =T x V

200

A position-time graph is important because

It helps us visualize the trajectory of objects

200

Distance is plotted on the _ axis

Y

300

Speed is a _ Quantity

Scalar

300

What is the formula for displacement

Δd = d2 - d1

300

calculation of time is 

t = Δd/v

300

Position is plotted on the

Vertical axis

300

Graphs involving speed are called

Distance vs time graphs

400

Velocity is a _ Quantity

Vector

400

What is the formula for Intervals of time

End time - start time.

400

The calculation for slope is

slope = Δy = y2-y1 / Δx = x2-x1 or rise/run

400

An object moving at a constant speed is called

Uniform motion

400

Time measured is on the _ axis

X

500

Velocity is measured in displacement over time and

Direction

500

What is the formula for slope

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

500

The calculation for position-time is 

x(t) = x0 + vt

500

What is the type of motion that is defined as the motion of which the motion travels at a varied speed

Non-Uniform motion
