Distance/Displacement/Speed/Velocity

Front

What is the definition of displacement?

Back

Displacement is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from a starting point.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

If Kendra walks 200 m in 20 seconds, what is her speed?

Back

10 m/s.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled, while displacement is the shortest straight line from the starting point to the ending point.

Front

If Bill runs 400 meters to Andy's house and back, what is his distance?

Back

800 meters.

Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance.

Front

How do you calculate displacement?

Back

Displacement = Final Position - Initial Position.

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s).

Front

If a person travels 5 meters in 5 seconds, what is their speed?

Back

1 m/s.

Front

What does a speed-time graph represent?

Back

A speed-time graph shows how speed changes over time.
