Speed, Velocity Acceleration, Graphs

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is how much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction.

Front

Which of the following is not an example of acceleration?

Back

Driving at a constant speed.

Front

What is a measure of the change of velocity of a moving object?

Back

Acceleration.

Front

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

Back

A flat line represents constant speed.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed in a given direction.

Front

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

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting position.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting position.

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).
