7th Grade Science - Motion and Graphing

Flashcards covering key concepts related to motion and graphing as taught in 7th grade science.

Equation of motion

B³ = CD + DA

Constant Speed

An object travels at a constant speed if it does not increase or decrease its speed.

Speed Graph

A graph that shows the relationship between distance (position) and time.

Acceleration

The rate of change of speed or velocity over a specific amount of time.

Velocity

Speed in a given direction.

Rest (Stopped) on a Speed Graph

Represents an object that is at rest with a horizontal line.

Constant Velocity

When the velocity of an object remains the same, its rate of change does not increase or decrease.

Changing Acceleration

Indicated by a curved line on a graph, representing a change in acceleration.

Steeper incline on a speed graph

Represents faster acceleration.

Horizontal line on a speed graph

Indicates no speed or that the object is stopped.
