1.1 - Motion Flashcards
______ is the change in an object’s position relative to a reference point
Motion
An object that is traveling at a constant speed in ONE direction is traveling in ______
Uniform motion
Uniform motion is difficult to maintain, so the ______ is usually used
Average speed
Formula for speed
V (speed) = 🔺d (distance travelled)
—–
🔺t (time elapsed)
🔺= change in (final - initial)
Uniform motion - distance time graph
Diagonal
Slope formula
Slope = rise/run
Average speed (v) = change in distance (🔺d) / change in time (🔺t)
Distance time graph
Steeper slope indicates ______ speed and a lesser slope indicates ______ speed
Faster
Slower
