Distance, Displacement, Speed, Velocity, Acceleration

Front

What is average speed?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed in a given direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position, including direction.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled, regardless of direction.

Front

What is a reference point?

Back

A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if another object is in motion.

Front

What does a speed graph show?

Back

A speed graph shows how speed changes over time.

Front

What does an acceleration graph show?

Back

An acceleration graph shows how acceleration changes over time.

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).
