Speed and Velocity Flashcard

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, such as 60 km/h north.

Front

How do you calculate distance?

Back

Distance can be calculated using the formula: Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

If a car travels 150 km in 3 hours, what is its average speed?

Back

Average speed = 150 km / 3 hours = 50 km/h.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in motion?

Back

An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a reference point.

Front

What is instantaneous speed?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the velocity of an object?

Back

Velocity is found by dividing the displacement by the time taken, and it includes direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, including direction.
