Questions and Answers

What characteristic defines uniform straight-line motion?

  • The speed remains unchanged throughout the motion. (correct)
  • The distance covered is never the same over equal time intervals.
  • The motion typically involves acceleration.
  • The speed varies at different times.

How is speed calculated based on the given information?

  • Speed = distance * time
  • Speed = distance / time (correct)
  • Speed = distance + time
  • Speed = time / distance

What is the SI unit of speed?

  • Meters (m)
  • Kilometers per hour (km/h)
  • Seconds (s)
  • Meters per second (m/s) (correct)

Flashcards

Speed

The rate at which an object changes its position over time. It is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

Uniform Straight-Line Motion

Motion in a straight line where the object travels at a constant speed without changing direction.

Distance

The distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time.

Distance-Time Graph

A visual representation of an object's motion where time is plotted on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.

Constant Speed

In uniform straight-line motion, the speed remains constant throughout the journey. This means the object does not accelerate or decelerate.
