| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is distance | total length traveled of path an object takes |
| what is displacement | how far an object is from it’s starting position |
| what is speed | distance covered per time and is scalar quantity |
| what is velocity | displacement covered per time and it’s vector quantity |
| how does position relate to velocity | velocity is rate at which position changes |
| what is vector quantity | both magnitude and direction |
| what is scalar quantity | has any magnitude |
| how does velocity relate to acceleration | acceleration is rate of at which velocity changes |
| what are the ways you can change your velocity | changing speed or direction of motion |
| what is acceleration | change in velocity/time interval |
| does every object in free fall change their velocity at the same rate? | yes on the same planet |
| what is g and what does it mean | g=acceleration due to gravity |
| if you graph position vs time and look at the slope what can you find? | average velocity |
| if you graph velocity vs time and look at the slope what can you find? | average acceleration |
| if one position vs time graph has a steeper slope than another does it mean that it’s velocity is higher or lower | as slope becomes steeper the velocity increases |
