Velocity Acceleration Speed

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

Total distance divided by total time is

• average speed
• constant speed
• instantaneous speed
• acceleration

The correct equation to calculate speed is

• distance/time
• time/distance
• distance x time
• distance/time²
