Speed, Velocity, Acceleration, Graphs

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What is the formula for average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest (no motion).

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed or rapid movement.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

What is deceleration?

Back

Deceleration is a decrease in speed or negative acceleration.

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).
