What is speed?

Back

Speed is the change in distance in a given time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed in a specific direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

How is velocity different from speed?

Back

Velocity includes direction, while speed does not.

Front

What does it mean to accelerate?

Back

To accelerate means to increase speed, decrease speed, or change direction.

Front

What is uniform acceleration?

Back

Uniform acceleration is when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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