Speed Velocity and Acceleration

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Speed in a specific direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity.

Front

What are the three types of acceleration?

Back

Speeding up, slowing down, changing directions.

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

Back

An object is slowing down.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

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).

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving faster.

Front

What is uniform acceleration?

Back

Acceleration that is constant over time.

Front

What is instantaneous velocity?

Back

The velocity of an object at a specific moment in time.
