speed, velocity, distance, displacement, and momentum

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in 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, expressed in units like meters per second (m/s) with a directional component.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is a scalar quantity that represents the total path length traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object, measured as the shortest distance from the initial to the final position, including direction.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, represented by the formula p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

Front

If a car travels at a speed of 80 mph, how long will it take to cover 1,000 miles?

Back

12.5 hours.

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.
