Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, often measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What does a constant speed mean?

Back

Constant speed means that an object is moving at the same rate without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

How can we determine which object is faster using a graph?

Back

By comparing the slopes of the lines on the graph; a steeper slope indicates a faster speed.

Front

What does it mean if a line on a graph is horizontal?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is not moving; it has stopped.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, indicating how quickly it speeds up or slows down.

Front

What does a speed graph show?

Back

A speed graph shows how the speed of an object changes over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What does it mean if two objects reach the same distance at different times?

Back

The object that reached the distance first is faster than the other.

Front

What is a race graph?

Back

A race graph visually represents the speeds and distances of competitors over time.
