Speed, Velocity Acceleration, Graphs

Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = distance / time

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed in a given direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line represents that the object is not moving.

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does an upward slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

What is the unit of speed?

Back

The unit of speed is typically meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

If a car travels 100 km in 2 hours, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = distance / time = 100 km / 2 hours = 50 km/h.

Front

What does acceleration look like on a graph?

Back

Acceleration appears as a curve that slopes upward on a velocity-time graph.
