Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration Review

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in units like km/h or m/s.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

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 acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the SI unit for speed?

Back

The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the SI unit for distance?

Back

The SI unit for distance is meters (m).

Front

What is the SI unit for time?

Back

The SI unit for time is seconds (s).

Front

What is a scalar quantity?

Back

A scalar quantity has only magnitude and no direction (e.g., distance, speed).
