Speed & Motion Graphs

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is how much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

If Alan travels 100 km in 5 hours, what is his average speed?

Back

20 km/h

Front

What does a horizontal line on a speed graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line represents constant speed.

Front

How do you find speed if distance and time are given?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

If a person walks 12 km in 30 minutes, what is their speed in 1 hour?

Back

24 km/h

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

The unit of speed is kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What does acceleration mean in terms of motion?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What does a steep slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed.

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).
