11.1 Motion Flashcards
What is speed
The distance travelled by obj per unit time
How do we calculate average speed
Distance
————
Time
*show working of converting km to m, min to s etc
What can we draw to represent the motion of an object
Distance-time graph
2 advantages of distance time graph
Find distance travelled at diff times easily
Can see if its moving longer/shorter distances w respect to diff lengths of time
3 disadvantages of distance time graph
Hard to visualise motion
Hard to find whether its moving or not / fast or slow
Need to read graph in more details to find distance travelled
What does distance-time graph show
Distance object travelled at different times
When object is at rest, the graph is a ______ line
Horizontal
The higher the speed, the ________ the slope
Steeper
(越快越斜)
What is uniform motion
Constant speed in fixed direction
Eg escalator
What is non-uniform motion
Changing speed or changing direction
