What is speed?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. Formula: Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.

Front

What is the unit of speed?

Back

The standard unit of speed is meters per second (m/s).

What does it mean if an object is stationary?

Back

An object is stationary if it is not moving and its speed is 0 m/s.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

What is a head start in a race?

Back

A head start is when one runner begins the race ahead of the others, giving them an advantage.

Front

If a runner completes a 100 meter dash in 10 seconds, what is their average speed?

Back

10 m/s (calculated as 100 meters / 10 seconds).

Front

If a runner takes 100 seconds to run 10 meters, what is their speed?

Back

0.1 m/s (calculated as 10 meters / 100 seconds).

Front

What does it mean to run at a steady speed?

Back

Running at a steady speed means maintaining a constant speed without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
