Front

How is speed defined in physics?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

How is velocity defined in physics?

Back

Velocity is the displacement per unit of time and includes 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 does a steeper slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A higher speed of the object.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

An object moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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