Show Me What You Got: Graphs

100

The velocity of an object is known to be this when you see a horizontal line on a "Position vs. Time" graph

What is 0?

200

On a "Position vs. Time" graph, when the position is increasing, this means the velocity is ...

What is positive?

300

To determine the displacement on a "Position vs. Time" graph, we look at the change this axis.

What is y?

400

Acceleration is found by look at this feature of a "Velocity vs. Time" graph.

What is slope?

500

When looking at a "Position vs. Time" graph, we can tell an object is accelerating when we see this.

What is a curved line?

May the Force Be With You

100

This expression tells us force, which is the most important equation in all of Physics.

What is F=ma?

200

This picture shows us the object and all of the forces acting on it.

What is a Free Body Diagram?

300

To quickly know if an object is accelerating, look at a Free Body Diagram to see if the forces are

What is unbalanced?

400

Net force is found by doing this

What is adding all the forces?

500

Force is constant; mass is increasing; acceleration is decreasing.  We classify this relationship as 

What is inversely proportional?

Being Extra: Equations

100

This equation gives us displacement

What is x_f-x_i?

200

This equation gives us velocity

What is (x_f-x_i)/t?

300

This equation gives us force

What is F=ma?

400

This equation gives us acceleration

What is (v_f-v_i)/t?

500

We use this equation when we know the acceleration, the time, and the initial velocity, and we're looking for final velocity.

What is v_f=v_i+at?

No Cap

100

This quantity tells us about inertia

What is mass?

200

This is the unit of force

What is N (Newtons)?

300

This is the unit of acceleration

What is m/s² (meters per second squared)?

400

Dynamic equilibrium tells us this about an object

What is moving at a constant velocity?

500

This person at TPHS should be revered for their awesomeness, and treated with utmost respect and awe
