Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed refers to the speed of an object that does not change over time, meaning it covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a certain amount of time, typically measured in units like meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken, representing the overall speed of an object during its motion.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, such as 24 km/hr South.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, which can involve speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

Front

What unit is commonly used to measure speed?

Back

Speed is commonly measured in kilometers per hour (km/h) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that only measures how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is the metric unit for measuring volume?

Back

The metric unit for measuring volume is liters (L).

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

What does it mean if an object is in motion?

Back

An object is in motion if it changes its position relative to a reference point over time.
