Speed and Velocity

Front

What is average speed?

Back

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

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

Front

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

Back

A flat line on a distance-time graph represents that the object is not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A straight diagonal line indicates constant speed.

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 of an object.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

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

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 point.

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 point.
