Formulas/Calculations
The formula of displacement.
What is D2-D1?
State the letter used to represent speed and velocity.
What is 'v'?
When analysing a P-T Graph, what information does the slope on the graph provide?
What is velocity?
How do you calculate the value of distance?
Add each value given.
If for instance, you wanted to calculate the speed of your walk, what formula would you use in order to do so?
What is V=Distance/Time?
Two pieces of information you need to calculate displacement.
What is the initial and final position?
The difference between speed and velocity.
What is direction?
When an object moves at a consistent speed, what name corresponds to its motion?
What is Uniform Motion?
MJ kicks a ball. It travels 5m, hits a tree and changes direction, sending it an additional 10m to the right. What is the distance?
What is 15m?
The bus drives at a constant speed of 63km/h and travels for a total of 12 hours, how far does it end up?
What is 756km?
The two things you need to calculate the velocity of an object.
What is displacement and the time interval?
Since the letter 'v' is used to represent both speed and velocity, state something that differentiates the two.
What is an arrow above the 'v' for velocity?
If the slope on a graph is horizontal, what does it mean for the moving object?
No movement.
Say a frog started on a lily pad at position 0 and hopped 35m north before turning back and hopping 21m to the south. Calculate the total displacement of the frog.
14m (n)
A man decides to exercise. He starts at –3 and runs 10 miles east, takes a break, and runs another 15 miles. Calculate the total distance and displacement that he ran.
Distance = 25miles
Displacement = 25miles
When a car travels at 60 km/h and it takes 4 hours to complete its journey, state the total distance the car covered.
What is 240 km/h?
Fill in the blank: speed is a _______ quantity.
What is scalar?
On a graph, what variables are used to identify time and position?
What is x and y?
Ben starts in position 2. He sprints 36m west, touches a line, and then sprints 11m to the east. Calculate the total distance and displacement of Ben’s run.
Displacement = -25m (w) Distance = 47m
The spider crawls 27cm north, 74cm east, and gets swatted by a broom sending it 90cm south. What is the total distance that the ant traveled?
What is 191cm?
When given the speed of an object and the distance in which it travelled, state what you would be solving for.
What is the time interval?
The formula for calculating velocity.
What is displacement over time?
Which is the dependant variable on a P-T Graph, x or y?
What is y?
If a ball is thrown 79km west and rolls back east by 28m, what is the total displacement?
-78,972m (w)
The class goes on a walk around the perimeter of their school campus. They walk at a steady pace of 2km/h. If they travel for 45 minutes, how far do they go?
What is 1.5 km?
