| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is speed? | .speed describes how quickly something is moving |
| What are the units of speed? | .scientists measure speed using the units METRES PER SECOND m/s or ms-1 (little 1) |
| what are some other units speed? | .kilometres per hour Km/h .Miles per hour Mph |
| what is the calculation used to measure speed? | . speed= distance (divided by) time |
| . can you use the formula speed=distance (divided by) time to calculate speed? | |
| What is a distance time graph ? | .A distance time graph is a scatter plot graphs that plots time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis. |
| what are the steps for drawing a scatter plot? | 1.Leave space at the bottom and left hand side of your page to label your axes (one red box) 2. Draw your x and y axes- independent variable (one you changed ) on the x axes 3. label the axes, include units (cm,kg, etc). |
| what are the other steps for drawing a scatter plot? | 4. scale the x-axis - is there enough space? 5. scale the y-axis is there enough space? 6.add increments (dashes) to both axes 7.plot the data-find correct position on graph mark with dot/x |
| what are the remaining steps for drawing a scatter plot? | 8.add trend line A. a straight line with a ruler if the points are in a row B. a freehand curve if the points are not in a row (. Give the graph a title-what is it showing? |
| what dose the term as the crow flies mean? | .This expression means the distance between two locations, regardless of roads or paths |
| What is displacement? | .displacement is the distance in a given direction .distance+direction .distance between start and finish points |
| what is distance? | .distance is the length of the path followed |
| how do you lay out a sum of displacement? | for displacement, you need to give a figure for distance AND the direction of travel for example 100m east |
| what is velocity? | .units used are the same as speed, but the direction has to be indicated also .metres per second (m/s) |
| .what is the formula doe velocity ? | velocity=change in displacement(divided by) time taken |
| What is acceleration? | .the acceleration of an object is the change in velocity in one second .units are metres per second squared m/s2 (little 2) |
