Speed Velocity Acceleration

Front

What is Speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is Velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, e.g., 30 m/s north.

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, indicating how quickly an object speeds up or slows down.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time (S = D/T).

Front

What is the difference between Speed and Velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of constant speed?

Back

A car traveling at 60 km/h on a straight road without changing speed.

Front

What is an example of acceleration?

Back

A car increasing its speed from 20 m/s to 50 m/s in 5 seconds.

Front

What is a situation that demonstrates negative acceleration?

Back

A bicycle slowing down as it approaches a stop sign.

Front

What units are commonly used to measure speed?

Back

Meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), and miles per hour (mph).

Front

What is the formula for calculating Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.
