Distance, Speed and Time

Front

What is the formula to calculate distance?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time

Front

Define speed in the context of motion.

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

What is the average speed if a car travels 300 miles in 5 hours?

Back

Average Speed = 300 miles / 5 hours = 60 miles/hour

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

If a cyclist travels at a speed of 12 km/h for 2 hours, how far do they travel?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time = 12 km/h × 2 h = 24 km

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h)

Front

How do you convert speed from km/h to m/s?

Back

Divide the speed in km/h by 3.6.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A high speed of the object.

Front

If a train travels 150 miles in 3 hours, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 150 miles / 3 hours = 50 miles/hour

Front

What is the relationship between distance, speed, and time?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time; Speed = Distance / Time; Time = Distance / Speed.
