Multiple Choice

The graph shows the speed of a car traveling east over a 12 second period. Based on the information in the graph, it can be concluded that in the first 6 seconds, the car is –

• experiencing less and less friction.

• accelerating at a constant rate.

• climbing a steep incline.

Multiple Choice

Which graph shows the fastest speed?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating speed?

• Speed= force/distance (force divided by distance)

• Speed= mass x acceleration (mass times acceleration)

• Speed = distance/time (distance divided by time)

• Speed = time x energy (time times energy)

Multiple Choice
