17
Q

Slope is / (front slash)

A

movement is in the positive direction

18
Q

slope if \ (back slash)

A

movement is in negative direction

19
Q

Speed vs. Acceleration

A

Speed is how fast something moves, acceleration is how quickly speed changes

20
Q

Can you tell which direction an object is moving with Acceleration

A

No, unless you know whether the thing is speeding up or slowing down

21
Q

Velocity

A

Speed of something in a given direction

22
Q

how to solve for final velocity

23
Q

How to solve for final displacement

A

v0t + 1/2 a t^2

24
Q

How to solve for v^2f

A

v0^2 + 2a(displacement)

25
Q

What is the acceleration of an object in free fall

A

10 m/s per second towards the ground

26
Q

The Acceleration of a free-fall object is always…

A

negative/down

27
Q

What should you do if the projectile was launched at an angle

A

Treat the horizontal and vertical components of its motion separately

28
Q

How to solve a projectile problem

A

Make 2 motion charts

29
Q

Motion chart

A

Charts that have 5 principal motion variables on it

30
Q

How to find vertical component of velocity at an angle

A

Multiply speed by sine of angle (this always works, as long as the angle is measured from the horizontal)

31
Q

horizontal component of a velocity at an angle

A

multiply speed by cosine of angle (this always works, as long as the angle is measured from the horizontal)

32
Q

How to calculate displacement on a velocity-time graph

A

Calculate area under velocity-time graph

33
Q

Magnitude of accleration

A

How much acceleration (regardless of direction)

34
Q

How to tell which line has a greater acceleration on a velocity-time graph

A

Steeper slope

35
Q

How to rank speed

A

Don’t consider negative values

36
Q

How to rank speed on position-time graph

A

Look at slope

37
Q

Total distance object travel in all parts of motion

A

Add absolute values

38
Q

How to get km/hr from m/s

A

multiply speeds by about 4

39
Q

How to get miles per hour instead of m/s

A

1 m/s is equal to a little more than 2 miles per hour

40
Q

When should you neglect air resistance

A

always, unless it is clear that air resistance is important (f.e. talking about terminal velocity)

41
Q

What happens when you divide acceleration by 6

A

Distance/6

42
Q

For horizontal and vertical motion charts for a projective, they must use the same _
