Q

The magnitude of the velocity vector is called the _______

A

SPEED, Note: that speed is a scalar so it has no direction and can never be negative. Velocity is a vector that specifies both speed and direction

17
Q

Average acceleration

A

change in velocity / change in time* Acceleration is trickier than velocity, both involve how fast something changes, acceleration is how fast velocity changes and an objects velocity changes if the SPEED OR DIRECTION changes. Therefore, an object can be accelerating even if its speed is constant

18
Q

Acceleration in the same direction as velocity means the objects speed is

A

increasing

19
Q

Acceleration perpendicular to velocity means objects speed is ___________

A

constant

20
Q

acceleration in the opposite direction from velocity means objects speed is __________

A

decreasing

21
Q

acceleration at an angle between 0 degrees and 90 degrees to velocity means objects speed is __________ and direction of velocity is changing

A

increasing

22
Q

acceleration at an angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees to velocity means objects speed is __________ and direction of velocity is changing

A

decreasing

23
Q

The slope of a position vs time graph gives the _______

A

velocity

24
Q

The area under a velocity vs time graph gives the __________

A

displacement

25
Q

The slope of a velocity vs. time graph gives the _________

A

acceleration

26
Q

Projectile motion

A

The motion of an object experiencing only the constant downward acceleration due to gravity (free fall)* MUST analyze vertical and horizontal motion separately

27
Q

Horizonta Projectile Motion

A

once the projectile is launched, it no longer experiences a horizontal acceleration, That is a (x) will be 0 throughout the projectiles flight. If the horizontal acceleration is 0 throughout the projectiles flight then the horizontal velocity will be constant throughout the flight . If the horizontal velocity does not change than whatever it is initially is all it will ever be ( horizontal velocity of the projectile at any point during flight will be equal to initial horizontal velocity, can use d= vt

28
Q

Vertical projectile motion

A

we realize that there is an accleration after all, the gravitational accleration is zero. MUST specify which direction is positive or negative, lets call up the positive direction and down the negative direction. NOTE: Vertical velocity will always be 0 at the top

29
Q

The projectiles total flight time will be _________ the time required to reach the top

A

TWICE
