A truck driving at 60 miles per hour travels 150 miles. How long is it driving for?

• 9000 hours
• 0.4 hours
• 210 hours
• 2.5 hours

Velocity is

• speed and acceleration
• constant speed
• a frame of reference
• speed in a given direction

Speed =

• distance / time
• time / distance
• distance * time

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

Acceleration is
