Unit 2 Uniform Motion
What is the slope of this graph?
0 slope = object is not moving
Velocity vs time graph
All flat lines = constant velocity
Displacement is another term for ___________________
Change in Position
Distance travelled
How far did the object travel
Distance Traveled is always _______________________
Positive
What is the slope of this graph?
Positive Slope = object is moving to the right
velocity
Speed in a given direction
position vs time graph
a graph that show the the change of an object over a given time
motion diagram
a series of images showing the positions of a moving object at equal time intervals
velocity vs time graphs for uniform motion
always have flat lines = constant
Δ =
change
Change in position=
displacement
larger steep line (large slope)
faster the object
Motion
how objects move not why they move
negative direction of travel
moving to the left
positive direction of travel
moving to the right
flat line=
no slope
x=
position
Xf
position final
Xi
position initial
smaller steep (small slope)
slower the object
Object starts at __________, moves to the _____________
starts at 0 and moves to the right (positive direction)
Slope=
steepness of a line
t=
time
constant speed
uniform motion
v=
velocity (m/s)
slope of a position vs time graph
velocity of the object
Position
where an object is is relative to "zero", another object, or a mark
Formula for slope
y2-y1/x2-x1
Formula for "Distance Traveled"
|Δx| = |Xfinal -Xinitial|
Formula for "Change in Position"
Δx=Xfinal -Xinitial
