Con Physics-Semester 1 Final Review

Front

What is the equation for average speed?

Back

S = d / t, where S is average speed, d is distance, and t is time.

Front

What does the speedometer in your car tell you?

Back

The speedometer indicates instantaneous speed.

Front

What is the variable for time in physics equations?

Back

The variable for time is represented as 't'.

Front

Calculate the average speed for a trip covering 500 km in 10 hours.

Back

Average speed = 50 km/h.

Front

What are the units for velocity?

Back

The units for velocity are meters per second (m/s).

Front

Define average speed.

Back

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

Front

What is instantaneous speed?

Back

Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total 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 is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance can be calculated using the formula d = S * t.
