What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

How do you calculate velocity?

Back

Velocity = Distance / Time. For example, if a cyclist travels 100 km south in 5 hours, the velocity is 20 km/h south.

Front

What unit is used to measure volume?

Back

Liters (L) are used to measure volume.

Front

What metric unit is commonly used for long distances?

Back

Kilometers (km) are commonly used for measuring long distances.

Front

What is the SI unit for speed?

Back

The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a certain amount of time, without considering direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the relationship between distance, speed, and time?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.
