2- Motion Flashcards
What is acceleration (m/s squared)
The velocity of an object changing
What is velocity
Speed given in a direction
What is happening when the value calculated for acceleration is negative?
It is decelerating
What does the gradient on a distance time graph mean?
Speed
What does it mean on a distance time graph when the line is horizontal?
The object is stationary
What does it mean on a distance time graph when the line is straight and sloping upwards
The object is moving at a constant speed
What does it mean on a velocity time graph when the line is horizontal
The object is moving at a constant speed
What does it mean on a velocity time graph when the line is negative?
The object is decelerating
What does the area under the velocity time graph mean?
The distance travelled in the given time
