What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (only magnitude), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a flat line on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is stationary (not moving).

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a steep slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving at a high speed.

7.
