Motion Unit Flashcards
Average velocity
All the velocities added up and then divided by the amount added together
Final velocity
Finishing speed or velocity
Deceleration
Negative acceleration
Vector quantity
Posing both magnitude and direction
Velocity
Speed with a direction
Initial velocity
Starting speed or velocity
Acceleration
The rate of change in velocity
Speed
The rate at which something happens
Scaler quantity
This means that it does not have a direction only a magnitude(size)
What is the equation to find acceleration
Vf-Vi/t=A
What does the slope of the speed vs time graph represents
Acceleration
A speed versus time graph what is on the X and Y axis?
Time is on the X axis
Speed is on the Y axis
If the slope of a speed versus time graph is positive the object is
Accelerating
If the slope of a speed versus time graph is negative the object is
Decelerating
Acceleration is a___ it has a magnitude and a direction
Vector quantity
What is the equation to find time on a SPEED VS TIME graph
T=V2-V1/A
What is the equation to find speed
S equals D divided by T
Speed is a scaler quantity this means…
It does not have a direction only a size
