Speed, Velocity, Acceleration

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, measured as distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

Is speed a scalar or vector quantity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity.

Front

Is velocity a scalar or vector quantity?

Back

Velocity is a vector quantity.

Front

What does it mean if an object has a constant speed?

Back

It means the object is moving the same distance in equal intervals of time.

Front

What does it mean if an object is accelerating?

Back

It means the object's velocity is changing over time, either increasing or decreasing.

Front

Provide an example of speed.

Back

A roller coaster is traveling 10 meters per second.
