Q

Describe the relative motion of an object using a particular frame of reference

A
  • The jetplane is in motion relative to the ground
  • The jet plane is not moving or stationary relative to the passengers on the
  • The jetplane is not moving or stationary relative to a plane flying directly next to it at the same speed

Q

Downward slope on a distance- time graph

A

Decreasing speed

16
Q

Define and be able to describe examples of vectors

A

A quantity that has both size and direction

The car is going 50 m/hr north

17
Q

Define velocity

-units

A

Speed in a specific direction

m/s. cm/s. km/hr

18
Q

Compare speed and velocity

A

Both involve distance and time

Use the same units. Ex- m/s

19
Q

Difference between speed and velocity

A

Velocity is a vector

Velocity uses direction

20
Q

Explain the relationship between velocity and acceleration

A

In final velocity subtracted for the initial velocity over the change in time will give acceleration

21
Q

Define acceleration

- units

A
How quickly something's velocity changes over time
m/s/s.   m/s2.       cm/s/hr
A=vf-vi
    ------
     ⚠️T
22
Q

Describe and interpret velocity- time graph

A

How fast or slow something goes in a certain direction over a given amount of time

23
Q

Straight diagonal line on a velocity- time graph

A

Increasing speed

Accelerating

24
A straight flat, horizontal line on a velocity- time graphs
Constant speed
25
An upward slope on a velocity- time graph
Accelerating Increasing speed Accelerating faster
26
A downward slope on a velocity- time graph
Deceleration Decreasing speed Going slower
27
Why is it important to know velocity rather than just speed
So you can know the direction as well rather than just how fast or slow it is going
28
If an object is moving at a constant speed, can it be accelerating?
Yes, because acceleration occurs when you change speed or direction. So you can be going the same speed but change direction.
29
What are some examples of acceleration?
1. Increase 2. Decrease 3. Direction 4. A car going north 5. A train that is coming to a stop 6. On a roller coaster when it is picking up speed going down the hill
30
At what speed did a plane fly if it traveled from 1760meters in 8 seconds?
S=S S=d/t D= 1760m 1760m T= 8s ------ 8s S=220 m/s
31
An airplane, starting from rest accelerates to a velocity of 30 m/s in 15 seconds. What is the acceleration of the airplane?
A=A A=vf-vi VI= 0 m/s ------- VF= 30 m/s ⚠️T T= 15s A= 30m/s- 0m/s -------------- 15s A= 2m/s/s
32
A= 10m/s - 5m/s --------------- 5s
A=1m/s/s
33
Find vf. .5m/s/s= vf - 0m/s ----------- 20s
Cross multiply .5m/s/s vf --------- ---- 1s 20s A= 10m/s
34
Calculate the average speed of a car that has traveled from 125 miles to 320 miles in 3 hours.
S=S S=D/T D= 320 -125= 195mi S= 195mi T= 3hr --------- 3hr S= 65mi/hr
