Distance/Speed/Time

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically expressed in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

How do you convert minutes to hours?

Back

To convert minutes to hours, divide the number of minutes by 60.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, including direction.

Front

If a car travels 400 m in 10 minutes, what is its speed in m/s?

Back

Speed = 400 m / (10 min * 60 s/min) = 0.67 m/s.

Front

A train travels at 25 km/hr for 4 hours. How far does it travel?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time = 25 km/hr x 4 hr = 100 km.

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

If a person walks 50 meters north and then 32 meters south, what is their displacement?

Back

Displacement = 50 m - 32 m = 18 m north.

Front

How do you calculate time if you know distance and speed?

Back

Time = Distance / Speed.
