Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = distance / time

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

How can you determine which segment shows the faster speed on a graph?

Back

The steeper the line, the faster the speed.

Front

If I walk 20 miles in 5 hours, what is my speed?

Back

4 miles per hour

Front

During which interval is the object not moving on a graph?

Back

When the line is horizontal.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is scalar (magnitude only), while velocity is vector (magnitude and direction).

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = total distance / total time.
