100
What do you call a stationary place you choose to base all your motion on?
reference point
100
How fast are you going if in 10 s you cover 100 m?
10 m/s
100

Rise over run

slope

100

When the distance between 2 objects changes in accordance to the reference point

motion

100

What a straight horizontal line on a distance vs. time graph means

The object is stopped

200

The differences between speed and velocity

Velocity has a direction or velocity is a displacement from a reference point rather than a total distance traveled.

200
What velocity do you have if you jog 200 meters South in 50 seconds?
4 m/s, S
200

Variable that you always place on the x-axis

what is time

200

an attractive force between two objects with mass

gravity

200

What a straight horizontal line on a speed vs. time graph means

That the object is traveling at a constant speed
300
How can you have an acceleration without a change in speed?
change in direction
300
You accelerate your bike from 2 m/s to 6 m/s in 2 s. What is your acceleration?
2 m/s/s
300

The name of the 2 axis on a graph and their direction

What is y = vertical and x = horizontal

300
distance covered per unit time
speed
300

How is deceleration or slowing down represented on a graph

What is a negative slope

400

What is the velocity if you are walking 2 m/s towards the back of a bus going 35 m/s, N?

33 m/s N

400
On average, how fast are you going if you bike 60 m in 4 s?
15 m/s
400

What you solve for on a distance vs. time graph

what is speed

400
displacement per unit time in a set direction
velocity
400

What the y-intercept represents on a distance (position) vs time graph

the distance the object started at

500
What is a negative acceleration?
deceleration
500
Deer run across the road. You apply the brakes of your car for 2 seconds to stop the vehicle. You were going 30 m/s. What was your rate of braking?
-15 m/s/s
500

What you solve for on a speed vs. time graph

what is acceleration

500
any change in an object's velocity
acceleration
500
On a speed vs time graph, you can determine this by the shape of the graph

its type of acceleration (increasing or decreasing)
