Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is scalar (magnitude only), while velocity is vector (magnitude and direction).

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

How do you calculate distance traveled?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time
