Speed and Velocity

Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, also measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / 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 is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

What is instantaneous speed?

Back

Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

How do you calculate time if you know distance and speed?

Back

Time = Distance / Speed.

Front

What is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion occurs when an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is the significance of direction in velocity?

Back

Direction is crucial in velocity as it determines the object's path and can change even if speed remains constant.
