You walk 10 meters to math class in 20 seconds. Your average speed is

• 2 m/s
• 0.5 m/s
• 200 m/s
• 5 m/s

On a distance-versus-time graph, a straight line ALWAYS indicates that an object’s speed is _____.

• constant
• zero
• increasing
• decreasing

Change in speed over a given period of time is

• velocity
• motion
• speed
• acceleration

On a distance vs. time graph, the steeper the slope _____

• the slower the speed
• the faster the speed
• less acceleration
• greater acceleration

• average speed
• instantaneous speed
• acceleration

What is the equation to find speed?

• s=t/d
• s=d x t
• s=d/f
• s=d/t
