Front

What is Velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

Front

How is Speed calculated?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

How is Velocity calculated?

Back

Velocity = Displacement / Time.

Front

How is Acceleration calculated?

Back

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

Front

What does a positive acceleration indicate?

Back

A positive acceleration indicates that an object is speeding up.

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

Back

A negative acceleration (deceleration) indicates that an object is slowing down.

Front

If a car travels 60 km in 1 hour, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 60 km/h.
