1.2 Speed & Velocity

Multiple Choice

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

Multiple Choice

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• Speed = time/distance
• Speed = distance/time
• Speed = distance x time
• Speed = time x distance

Multiple Choice

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

Multiple Choice

Identify the units for speed.

• meters per second (m/s)

• meters (m)

• seconds (s)

• meters per second squared $$(m/s^2)$$

Multiple Choice

Identify the units for velocity.

• meters per second (m/s)

• meters (m)

• seconds (s)

• meters per second squared $$(m/s^2)$$

Multiple Choice

Speed and Velocity are the same because both describe how fast an object is moving. They are different because Velocity also includes, ___.

• time

• distance

• direction

• rotation

Multiple Choice
