Acceleration

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• Speed = time/distance
• Speed = distance/time
• Speed = distance x time
• Speed = time x distance

Which of the following is a unit for acceleration?

• km/s
• m/s²
• mi/hr
• ft

Can be measured in meters per second (m/s)

• Distance
• Time
• Speed
• Acceleration

What is velocity?

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

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

Acceleration only takes place when things speed up. 

• True
• False
