Uniform Motion and Slope Flashcards
How does uniform motion travel?
In equal displacements in equal time intervals.
What do objects in a uniform motion never do?
Speed up, slow down, or change directions.
How can the motion of an object be analyzed?
By drawing a position-time graph.
Where does the time go on a position-time graph?
Horizontal, x-axis
What is a best fit line?
A smooth curve or straight line that most closely fits the general shape outlined by the points.
What is uniform motion represented by?
A straight line on a position-time graph. Line passes through all plots.
What does the slope of a graph refers to?
Whether a line is horizontal or goes up or down at an angle.
What happens if the slope gets steeper?
There will be greater change in displacement during the same time interval.
What are 3 things objects with non-uniform motion have?
- Different displacements during equal time intervals.
- Different amounts of time to travel equal displacements
- Continuously changing velocity
