Position - Time of Accelerated Motion, Secant Method & Acceleration - Time Graphs

Question 1

1) To accelerate is to…
2) To accelerate uniformly is to…

Answer 1

1) change velocity
2) change velocity at a steady rate

Question 2

What is UARM?

Answer 2

Uniform accelerated rectilinear motion is when velocity changes steadily in motion

Question 3

1) The slope of a p-t graph is equal to…
2) Changing velocity would produce…

Answer 3

1) velocity
2) a changing slope, making a curve

Question 4

What do we use to calculate the slope of a curve? How does it work?

Answer 4

The secant method. You take the previous and the point after to then calculate the slope.

Question 5

What is the relationship in a=Δv/Δt=m/s^2.

Answer 5

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity within a certain time.

Question 6

1) slope of p-t is equal to…
2) slope of v-t is equal to…
3) area of v-t is equal to…

Answer 6

1) velocity
2) acceleration
3) displacement
