Front

What two measurements are needed to calculate speed?

Back

Front

How do you calculate distance?

Back

Speed multiplied by time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

How much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

If a car travels 60 km in 1 hour, what is its speed?

Back

60 km/h.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity; velocity is a vector quantity that includes direction.

Front

If two objects have the same speed but move in different directions, what can we say about their velocities?

Back

They have different velocities.

Front

What is the relationship between distance, speed, and time?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.
