Which of the following choices is an example of VELOCITY?

• 35 mph

• 35 meters

• 35 mph EAST

• 35 minutes

The state in which one object's distance from another is changing:

• Acceleration

• Motion

• Velocity

• Speed

The speed of an object at one instant of time is called:

• Average Speed

• Instantaneous Speed

• Velocity

• Acceleration

Speed in any given direction is:

• Acceleration

• Average speed

• Velocity

• Slope

Distance an object travels per unit of time and can be written like 35 mph is:

The rate at which velocity changes and can be seen by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction:

• Speed

• Velocity

• Acceleration

• Slope

To calculate speed:

• Speed = time + distance

• Speed = time X distance

• Speed = distance X distance

• Speed = distance ➗ time
