Thanks again for the help! -MC
You're welcome! I'm happy to help check your answers. Let's go through each question and see if they are correct.
1. Average speed is the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes.
Your answer is correct. To calculate average speed, you need to divide the total distance traveled by the object by the total time taken.
2. The velocity of an object is its speed in a certain direction.
Your answer is correct. Velocity is similar to speed but also includes the direction in which the object is moving. So, it measures both the magnitude (speed) and the direction of motion.
3. The steepness of the line on a position-time graph measures the object's speed.
Your answer is correct. On a position-time graph, the slope or steepness of the line represents the object's speed. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a flatter slope indicates a lower speed.
4. Displacement always includes a direction and is used in measuring velocity.
Your answer is correct. Displacement refers to the change in position of an object, and it has both magnitude and direction. It is used in measuring velocity because velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
Great job, all your answers are correct! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
