Lesson 4: Velocity Flashcards
(9 cards)
1
Q
Velocity
A
- Describes both the rate of motion and the direction of the object
2
Q
Is velocity a scaler or vector quantity?
A
- Vector
3
Q
Scaler Quantity
A
- Indicates “how much” of the quantity
4
Q
Vector Quantity
A
- Indicates “how much” of the quantity and the direction of a quantity
5
Q
Is displacement a scaler or vector quantity?
A
- Vetor
6
Q
Displacement
A
- Measurement of the change of distance and direction from a reference point
7
Q
How do you know that a position-time graph has uniform motion?
A
- When the line of best fit is a straight-diagonal line
8
Q
How can you find the average velocity of a position-time graph?
A
- Find the slope of the position time graph
*Slope = average velocity
9
Q
How do you know if a velocity-time graph has uniform motion?
A
- When the line of best fit is a straight horizontal line
