Lesson 3: Motion Flashcards
(8 cards)
1
Q
Motion
A
- Occurs when an imaginary line joining an object to a reference point change in length or direction or both
2
Q
Uniform Motion
A
- An object traveling at a constant speed in a straight line
3
Q
Average Speed
A
- An object traveling a distance at uniform motion in a specified time
4
Q
What two types of graphs can be used to study uniform motion?
A
- distance-time graph
- speed-time graph
5
Q
How do you know that a distance-time graph has uniform motion?
A
- When the line of best fit is a straight-diagonal line
*No curves
6
Q
How do you know if a speed-time graph has uniform motion?
A
- When the line of best fit is a straight-horizontal line
7
Q
How can you determine is a graph is showing uniform motion using slope?
A
- When the slope is 0
*Use rise over run formula
8
Q
What does the area under the line of a speed time graph indicate?
A
- Distance
*Calculate for distance by finding area of a rectangle
