Constant Motion

Linear 1D Motion

QuestionAnswer
Motion An object's change in position over some time interval
Constant Motion An object's position changes by a consistent amount each time interval
Examples of Constant Motion At rest, moving at 30 m/s
Pictorial representation of constant motion . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Changing Motion (acceleration) An object's position changes by different amounts each time interval
Examples of Changing Motion Speeding up, Slowing down
Pictorial representation of changing motion . . . . . .
Relative Motion Motion depends on the perspective of the observer
Description of constant motion position vs time graph can be a flat straight line or a straight diagonal line
Description of changing motion position vs time graph can be a curved line getting steeper or less steep
Description of constant motion velocity vs time graph must be a flat straight line; slope of 0
Description of changing motion velocity vs time graph can be a diagonal line
What is the significance of the slope of a position time graph? It gives the speed of an object
What is a scalar quantity? magnitude only (number only)
What is a vector quantity? magnitude and direction ( number with a direction)
Examples of scalars speed, distance
Examples of vectors velocity, displacement, acceleration
A steeper slope means what on a position vs time graph? moving faster
A less steep slope on a position vs time graph means? moving slower
The equation for speed is_______. distance/ time
The equation for slope is _______. rise / run
A boy walks 4 m North and then 4 m South. What distance did he travel? 8 m
A boy walks 4 m North and then 4 m South. What is his displacement? 0m
A girl runs 15m from her home in 30 seconds, then realizes she left her project and runs back in 30 seconds. What is her speed? 0.5 m/s
A girl runs 15m from her home in 30 seconds, then realizes she left her project and runs back in 30 seconds. What is her velocity? 0 m/s
What is the equation for velocity? displacement / time
A boat is traveling at 5 m/s north while the river is flowing south at 2 m/s. According to an observer on the shore the boat is traveling at velocity? 3 m/s north

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
