if the slope on a motion graph is gradually increasing to the right, it is…
moving forward to a constant speed
If the slope of a motion graph is gradually decreasing to the right, it is…
moving in reverse
if the slope on a motion graph in a horizontal line to the right, it is…
an object at rest
if the slope on a motion graph starts from a negative position then gradually increases to the right, it is…
moving forward at a constant
if the slope on a motion graph is gradually increasing to the right, the velocity is…
increasing velocity/speed
If the slope of a motion graph is gradually decreasing to the right, the velocity is…
decreasing velocity/slowing down
if the slope on a motion graph in a horizontal line to the right, the velocity is…
at a constant speed
if the slope on a motion graph starts from a negative position then gradually increases to the right, the velocity is…
slowing down before it hits the x axis then the velocity increases/speed
scalor
measurement
vector
direction
the formula for speed is
speed = distance/time
the formula for velocity is
velocity = distance/time
Delta symbol means
change
the formula for average speed is
average speed = total distance/ total time
acceleration
a change in velocity
what is the formula for acceleration
acceleration =
velocity(final) -velocity(initial)
/time
units for acceleration
m/s(squared)
a constant velocity means…
no acceleration
the slope of positive acceleration(speeding up) is…
a curved to the right slope
the slope of a negative acceleration(slowing down) is…
a curved to the left slope
+ v + a is
speeding up
- v - a
slowing down
what is the formula for weight
weight = (mass) (gravity)
the force gravity is also known as…
weight
