Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating time?

Back

Time = Distance / Speed.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

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 is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion occurs when an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is the significance of a graduated cylinder in measuring volume?

Back

A graduated cylinder is used to accurately measure the volume of liquids, typically in milliliters (mL).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for speed in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s).

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in free fall?

Back

An object in free fall is only under the influence of gravity, with no other forces acting on it.
