Speed Review II
speed, velocity, acceleration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| slope of a position vs. time graph | speed |
| area under an acceleration vs. time graph | change in velocity |
| area under a velocity vs. time graph | displacement |
| distance divided by time | speed |
| displacement divided by time | velocity |
| change in velocity divided by time | acceleration |
| quantity including magnitude (amount) only | scalar |
| quantity including both magnitude (amount) and direction | vector |
| IRL, this force always opposes motion | friction |
| starting point for motion | frame of reference |
| acceleration due to gravity | -9.81 m/s2 |
| velocity if object ends up back where it started | 0 m/s |
| slope of a velocity vs. time graph | acceleration |
| what's happening to velocity of a falling object | decreasing |
| what's happening to the acceleration of a falling object | stays same/constant |
