Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time. It is a scalar quantity and does not include direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point, or it is decelerating.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What does the term 'deceleration' mean?

Back

Deceleration refers to a decrease in speed or a negative acceleration.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its velocity (speed or direction).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between two or more variables.

Front

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the distance traveled by the object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) can be calculated using the formula: a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
