• acceleration
• constant speed
• average speed
• displacement

How do you calculate average speed?

• divide total time by total distance
• multiply total time by total distance
• divide total distance by total time
• subtract total time from total distance

The correct equation to calculate speed is

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

Velocity is both ____ and _____. 

• speed , direction 
• direction, mass
• volume, density 
• direction, magnitude
