What does a gradual slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving slowly.

Front

What is the definition of motion?

Back

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is instantaneous speed?

Back

Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means an object travels the same distance in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.
