Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in kilometers per hour (km/h) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity = Distance / Time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What units are commonly used to measure speed?

Back

Speed is commonly measured in kilometers per hour (km/h) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest (not moving).

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed of the object.
