Answer 20

About the speed

Question 21

How can you calculate the speed of a distance time graph?

Answer 21

Slope = rise over run

Question 22

What does the slope or gradient tell is about for a speed time graph?

Answer 22

Acceleration

M/s

Question 29

Distance Triangle

Answer 29

Distance

Speed- time

Question 30

What is Newtons 2nd law?

Answer 30

F:MA

An object will accelerate in the direction of an unbalanced force acting on it.

Question 31

Difference between distance and displacement?

Answer 31

Displacement is how far an a object travels from its point of origin, and distance is the measurement of the path taken. Distance is scalar displacement is vector

Question 32

Formula for force

Answer 32

F:Ma

Force is equal to mass times acceleration

Question 33

In a distance-time graph what does the line represent?

Answer 33

The steeper the gradient the faster the object.

Question 34

What is a distance time graph?

Answer 34

A graph that shows how the position of an object changes compared to where it started

Question 35

How is acceleration measured

Answer 35

m/s/s or m/s2

Question 36

How is velocity measured

Answer 36

M/s

Question 37

What is a displacement time graph?

Answer 37

A graph that shows how the position of an object changes compared to where it started.

Question 38

What is a velocity time graph?

Answer 38

A graph that shows the change in velocity over time. It is basically mapping acceleration.

Question 39

Difference between speed and velocity

Answer 39

Speed is the rate at which something travels while velocity is the rate at which displacement changes. Speed is scalar- velocity is vector.

Answer 40

Distance travelled. Eg: 5 seconds at 2 m/s : 10m

Question 41

What does the area below a velocity time graph represent?

Answer 41

Displacement
