Speed Velocity and Acceleration Practice

Front

What is Speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time. It is a scalar quantity and does not include direction.

Front

What is Velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity.

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

Front

How do you calculate Speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the unit of Speed?

Back

The standard unit of speed is meters per second (m/s).

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 is an example of constant speed?

Back

A car traveling at 60 km/h on a straight road without changing speed.

Front

What is an example of acceleration?

Back

A car increasing its speed from 20 m/s to 40 m/s in 5 seconds.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of Acceleration?

Back

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