Chapter 13 - "Speed, Velocity, & Acceleration"

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• Speed = Time / Distance
• Speed = Distance / Time
• Speed = Distance x Time
• Speed = Time x Distance

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

What is velocity?

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

A runner races in the 100 meter dash.  It takes her 10 seconds to finish.  What is her average speed? (Hint, use the speed formula)

• 10 m/s
• 1000 m/s
• 100 seconds
• 10 seconds

The correct equation to calculate distance is

• speed/time
• time/speed
• speed x time
• distance/time²

Shona cycles at an average speed of 8 kilometers an hour (km/hr). How far has she travelled if she cycles for 4 hours?

• 55 kilometers
• 32 kilometers
• 43 kilometers
• 32 miles

Kelly runs from 4:50pm until 5:20pm at an average speed of 7km/h. How far did she go?

• 4.5km
• 2.5km
• 3.5km
• 14km

Alan travels 100 kilometers in 5 hours. Find his average speed in kilometers/hour?

• 5 km/hr
• 10 km/hr
• 50 km/hr
• 20 km/hr
