Speed, Velocity, Acceleration

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 the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed in a given direction.

Front

How does velocity differ from speed?

Back

Velocity includes direction, while speed does not.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of acceleration?

Back

The unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is a practical example of acceleration?

Back

A car speeding up from a stop sign is an example of acceleration.

Front

What is a scenario where there is no acceleration?

Back

A person jogging at a constant speed of 3 m/s is not accelerating.
