Speed, Distance, Velocity, and Acceleration

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object

• the location of an object

• acceleration

• speed in a specific direction

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 the formula to calculate speed?

• Speed = time/distance

• Speed = distance/time

• Speed = distance x time

• Speed = time x distance

A car travels 120 miles in 12 hours. What is the car's speed?

• 10 mph

• 10 m/s

• 240 mph

• 240 m/s

The following is an example of:

8 m/s

• speed

• velocity

• acceleration

Here is a graph of speed vs time. If the object is moving to the east, which BEST describes the speed and velocity of the graph?

• Both speed and velocity are changing.

• The speed and velocity remain constant.

• The speed is constant and velocity is changing.

• The velocity cannot be determined from the graph.

A car accelerates as it rounds a corner, even if it is going at a constant speed. Why is that?

• Its direction changes

• It doesn't

• It slows down

• Its speeds up
