10 Questions
What is acceleration defined as?
The rate of change of velocity or speed
In the described situation, if each step equals 1 meter, how far do you travel in the third second?
3 meters
When an object is accelerating, what happens to its speed each second?
Speed changes
What happens to an object's distance traveled each second when it is accelerating?
Increases by a constant amount
Driving a car and constantly stopping and starting at traffic lights is an example of:
Deceleration
Which of the following best describes accelerated motion?
Speed changes every second, and the distance traveled changes by the same amount each second.
In accelerated motion, how does speed change over time?
Speed increases by a consistent amount each second.
What can you infer about an object's motion if its speed versus time graph is a straight line?
The object is moving at a constant speed.
If the distance graph of an object's motion is not a straight line, what does this indicate?
The object's distance increases by a different amount each second.
What distinguishes non-accelerated motion from accelerated motion in terms of speed changes over time?
In non-accelerated motion, speed changes every second; in accelerated motion, speed increases consistently.
Explore a scenario where you walk a certain number of steps per second, with the number of steps increasing by one every second. Calculate the total distance traveled and the speed at different time intervals.
