Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

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 negative acceleration indicate?

Back

A negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down.

Front

What is the formula for acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time
