Speed, Velocity, & Acceleration

_____ is how fast an object moves in a specific direction.

• velocity
• speed
• displacement
• distance

At 60 seconds, how far had this object traveled? 

• 0 m
• 10 m
• 20 m
• 40 m

Calculate the average speed (in meter/sec) if a cheetah runs 180 meters in 10 seconds.

• 198 m/sec
• 170 m/sec
• 12 m/sec
• 18 m/sec

Speed is different from velocity because

• Velocity has a direction
• Speed uses Distance /Time
• Velocity doesn't include time
• Velocity doesn't include distance
