Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the overall speed at which an object moves, calculated as total distance divided by total time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance (D) = Speed (S) x Time (T)

Front

What does a steeper slope on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a faster speed.

Front

What is the unit of speed?

Back

The unit of speed is typically meters per second (m/s) or meters per minute (m/min).

Front

What is the difference between speed and average speed?

Back

Speed refers to how fast an object is moving at a specific moment, while average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

If a worm travels 10 meters in 5 minutes, what is its average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 10 meters / 5 minutes = 2 meters/minute.

Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is a measure of distance an object travels per unit of time.

Front

How do you calculate average speed if you have multiple segments of travel?

Back

Average speed = Total distance of all segments / Total time of all segments.

Front

What is a distance vs. time graph?

Back

A distance vs. time graph shows how distance changes over time, helping to visualize speed.

Front

What does it mean if the distance vs. time graph is horizontal?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest, with no change in distance over time.
