Flashcards do conjunto (12)
- 1What is speed?How fast you're going
- 2What is velocity?How fast you're going in a certain direction
- 3what is does it mean when the line is flat?The object is stationary
- 4What does it mean when the line is straight?The object is travelling at a steady speed
- 5What does a steeper graph indicate?The object is travelling faster
- 6What does a downwards line mean?The object is travelling backwards
- 7What do curves represent?Acceleration or deceleration
- 8What does a steeper curve suggest?The object is speeding up
- 9What does a leveling of curve indicate?The object is slowing down
- 10What is the formula to work out speed on a distance time graph?Vertical axis / horizontal axis
- 11What is acceleration?How quickly velocity is changing
- 12What is the formula for acceleration?Acceleration= change in velocity/
Time taken
(v-u)/a*t
