• 20km/hr

What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?

• Mass and time
• Temperature and mass
• Mass and distance
• Distance and time

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 the average speed of an object that travels 60 meters in 4 seconds?

• 240 m/s
• 15 m/s
• 0.067 m/s
• 15 mph

A golf ball is hit a distance of 300 meters in 10 seconds.  What is the average speed of the golf ball? 

• 30 m/s
• 30 m
• 15 m/s
• 300 m/s

Which of the following best describes the velocity of an object?

• 50 m/s
• 50 m east
• 50 m/s east
• 50 m/s²

Find the velocity of a plane that traveled 3000 miles west in 5 hours.

• 65 mph west
• 6 mph west
• 600 mph west
• 6000 mph west 

What is the difference between the velocity and the speed of an object?  

• Velocity is the change in distance over time, while speed is the change in velocity over time
• Velocity has a direction associated with it, while speed has no specific direction.
• Velocity has no direction associated with it, while speed has a specific direction.
• Velocity is the change in speed over time, while speed is the change in distance over time.

What is the correct equation to calculate speed?

• S = distance/time
• S = time/distance
• S = distance x time
• S = distance/time²

What is velocity?

• The quickness of an object
• The location of an object
• Acceleration
• Speed in a specific direction
