Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What does it mean when an object is accelerating?

Back

An object is accelerating when it is increasing its speed over time.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means an object is moving at the same speed throughout its motion.

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 does a speed graph show?

Back

A speed graph shows how the speed of an object changes over time.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is sloping downwards?

Back

A downward slope on a graph indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What is the term for the distance an object travels in a certain time?

Back

This is called displacement.

Front

What happens to the speed of an object rolling down a ramp?

Back

The speed of the object increases as it rolls down the ramp due to gravity.

Front

What does it mean if an object is moving at a constant speed?

Back

It means the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
