speed, velocity, acceleration

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms or grams.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction. For example, '500 mph, West' is a velocity.

Front

What is force?

Back

A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What is the formula for acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

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

Front

What unit is commonly used to measure speed?

Back

Speed is commonly measured in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What happens to an object's velocity if it is accelerating?

Back

If an object is accelerating, its velocity is changing; it could be increasing or decreasing.

Front

What is a real-life example of acceleration?

Back

A car speeding up as it goes from a stoplight to a higher speed is an example of acceleration.
