Speed Velocity and Acceleration Practice

Front

What is Speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, measured in units like meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What is Velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

Front

How do you calculate Speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

How do you calculate Velocity?

Back

Velocity = Displacement / 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 an example of Speed?

Back

A car traveling at 50 km/h.

Front

What is an example of Velocity?

Back

A car traveling 50 km/h north.

Front

What units are used to measure Speed?

Back

Common units include meters per second (m/s) and kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What units are used to measure Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
