The baseball park is 4200 m from Camden's house. It took him 30 minutes to get there. What was Camden's speed?

Back

140 m/min

Front

Define distance in physics.

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

Define displacement in physics.

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity representing how fast an object moves, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

If a runner completes a 400 m lap in 50 seconds, what is their speed?

Back

Speed = 400 m / 50 s = 8 m/s

Front

What is the unit of speed in the SI system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
