speed, acceleration, velocity

Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, indicating how quickly an object is speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

How does velocity differ from speed?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if an object is accelerating?

Back

An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity, which can mean speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

If a car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 100m / 5s = 20 m/s.

Front

What does a speed of 0 m/s indicate?

Back

A speed of 0 m/s indicates that the object is stationary and not moving.
