TEKS 7.7 B

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

What is average velocity?

Back

Average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time taken.

Front

How do distance and displacement differ?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled, while displacement is the straight line distance from the starting point to the ending point, including direction.

Front

What does it mean for an object to have constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, regardless of direction.

Front

What does it mean for an object to have constant velocity?

Back

Constant velocity means the object moves at a constant speed in a straight line without changing direction.

Front

Can two objects have the same speed but different velocities?

Back

Yes, if they travel the same distance in the same time but in different directions.

Front

What is the relationship between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What happens to velocity when an object changes direction?

Back

The velocity changes because velocity depends on both speed and direction.

Front

What is a vector?

Back

A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or displacement.

Front

What is a scalar?

Back

A scalar is a quantity that has only magnitude, such as speed or distance.
