Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration Review

Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

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).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Front

What is a scalar quantity?

Back

A scalar quantity has only magnitude and no direction (e.g., speed, distance).

Front

What is a vector quantity?

Back

A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, acceleration).

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed of the object.
