Velocity EQ units, symbols, and equations

Front

What are the correct units for time?

Back

s (seconds)

Front

Calculate the average speed if a dog ran 10m to the east in 2 s.

Back

5 m/s

Front

What are the correct units for displacement?

Back

m (meters)

Front

What are the correct units for acceleration?

Back

m/s² or m/s/s

Front

What variable is equal to 10 m in the context of motion?

Back

Δx (displacement)

Front

Define velocity.

Back

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, including direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total 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).

Front

What does Δx represent in motion equations?

Back

Δx represents the change in position or displacement.

Front

What is the formula for acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time
