Physics in Motion

Speed =

• distance / time
• time / distance
• distance * time

You walk 10 meters to math class in 20 seconds. Your average speed is

• 2 m/s
• 0.5 m/s
• 200 m/s
• 5 m/s

On a distance vs. time graph, the steeper the slope _____

• the slower the speed
• the faster the speed
• less acceleration
• greater acceleration

When something has speed in a certain direction it is called ___________.

• motion
• position
• velocity
• speed
