Units
General knowledge
100
The position graph for an object is standing still.
What is a horizontal line?
100
The slope of a velocity graph tells you this.
What is acceleration?
100
The acceleration of an object that is standing still.
What is zero?
100
The unit of time we use in physics.
What is seconds?
100
The way a person walks if this is their distance-time graph.
Group has to walk it out
200
Object A and B both have a constant speed, but object B is going faster. The position graph for object B will appear this way.
What is steeper (or larger slope)?
200
The motion of an object if the velocity graph is a horizontal line.
What is moving at a constant speed?
200
The acceleration of an object that is moving at a constant speed of 30 m/s.
What is zero?
200
The unit of distance used in physics.
What is meters?
200
The way a train moves if this is their velocity time graph.
What is...
Constant acceleration for 2 seconds
Constant speed for 3 seconds
[Smaller] constant acceleration
300
A position graph that curves upward, getting steeper, depicts an object moving this way.
What is speeding up?
300
The motion of an object if, the velocity graph has a (non-zero) slope.
What is changing speed?
300
Acceleration is a fancy way of saying velocity.
What is False?
300
The unit of speed or velocity used in physics
What is meters per second or m/s?
300
The speed of an object 5 sec after that object started at 25m/s slowing down with an acceleration of 2m/s2.
What is 15 m/s?
400
A position graph with a straight downward diagonal line depicts an object slowing down. (T or F)
What is false? Such a graph shows the object moving at a constant speed because it is a straight line.
400
The motion of this graph.
What is ...
Accelerating going forwards.
Moving forwards at constant speed.
Slowing forward speed to zero.
400
The shape of a velocity graph where the motion is has a non-zero acceleration
What is a sloped line?
400
The unit for acceleration used in physics
What is meters per second squared or m/s2?
400
An object that has a negative acceleration must be getting slower.
What is false? (it will get faster if the velocity is negative too!)
500
What is ...
move forwards at constant speed
stop for 5 seconds
move backwards at constant speed
500
The motion of an object when the graph touches the x-axis of a velocity time graph.
What is the object has stopped (v=0)?
500
The object with the greater acceleration when one object moves at a constant speed of 10 m/s and another object moves at a constant speed of 20 m/s.
What is neither? They both have zero acceleration
500
The physical quantity that can have a unit of mph/sec.
What is acceleration?
500
The time it will take to move 100m traveling with a speed of 5m/s
What is 20sec?
