Motion Practice Problems Review

Front

What is the equation to calculate speed or velocity?

Back

Speed or velocity is calculated using the equation: distance/time.

Front

What is acceleration defined as?

Back

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of an object divided by the time interval.

Front

If a plane travels for 2.5 hours at a velocity of 1200 km/hr, what distance does it travel?

Back

The distance traveled is 3000 km.

Front

What is the unit for acceleration?

Back

Front

How far will a person go if they jog for 2 hours at a speed of 12 km/hr?

Back

The person will jog 24 km.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Front

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

Back

A negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down.

Front

What is the relationship between distance, speed, and time?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

What is the SI unit for distance?

Back

The SI unit for distance is meters (m).
