Vectors and Scalars
An example of a vector quantity
What is Velocity, displacement, force, acceleration, etc?
The SI unit of velocity.
What is meters per second (m/s)?
Kinematics is the study of this
What is how objects move without considering forces?
A horizontal line on a displacement-time graph represents this
What is zero velocity (object stopped)?
The average speed of a car traveling 400 meters in 20 seconds
What is 20 m/s?
An example of a scalar quantity
What is speed, distance, time, temperature?
The SI unit for displacement
What is meter (m)?
the difference between distance and displacement
What is distance is total path length and displacement is straight line from start to end with direction?
The slope of a displacement-time graph represents this.
What is velocity?
The number of hours it will take a swallow to migrate 1500 miles at 60 miles/hour.
What is 25 hours?
This distinguishes vectors from scalars.
What is having both magnitude and direction?
The one of these that is NOT correctly paired:
distance - m
velocity - m/s
displacement - m/s²
speed x time - meter
What is displacement - m/s²?
The average velocity formula
What is displacement divided by time?
Area under a velocity-time graph represents this
What is displacement?
The velocity of a car that completes a 400m lap in 15 seconds
What is 0 m/s?
The distance of an object that moves 5 meters east and then 5 meters west.
What is 10 meters?
This is the SI units if you subtract two distances and divide the answer by time.
What is m/s?
This is happening if a car passes markers in shorter time intervals
What is increasing speed?
This indicates a change of direction in a velocity-time graph.
What is the line crosses the x-axis?
The speed in miles/hour of a car that takes 7.2 seconds to travel 0.1 miles.
What is 50 miles/hour?
The displacement of an object that moves 5 meters east and then 5 meters west.
This is the SI unit of the area under a velocity-time graph.
What is meter (m)?
instantaneous velocity
What is velocity at a specific moment in time?
This represents a car stopped between 1 and 3 minutes on a displacement-time and velocity-time graph?
What is a horizontal line?
The speed in km/hr of a car that takes 7.2 seconds to travel 0.1 miles.
What is 80 km/hr?
