Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, often measured in miles per hour (mph) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

How can you calculate speed?

Back

Speed can be calculated using the formula: Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What does it mean if a vehicle travels a greater distance in a later time period?

Back

It likely means that the vehicle is moving faster during that later time period.

Front

What happens when two objects push off from each other?

Back

Both objects will move away from each other due to the force applied.

Front

What information do you need to calculate your speed while running?

Back

You need to know the total distance you ran and the time it took to run that distance.

Front

If a cyclist travels farther in the first half of their ride than in the second half, what can be concluded?

Back

The cyclist was likely riding faster during the first half of the ride.

Front

What is a constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means that an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

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).

Front

What is the significance of direction in motion?

Back

Direction determines the path an object takes and is essential for understanding velocity.

Front

What is an example of a situation where speed changes?

Back

A car accelerating from a stoplight is an example of changing speed.
