Fomative 6A: Speed, Distance, Time

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured 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

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

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 car travels 120 km in 2 hours, what is its speed?

Back

60 km/h.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

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

Front

How does time affect speed?

Back

If the distance remains constant, decreasing the time taken increases speed.

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

If a runner completes a 400-meter race in 50 seconds, what is their speed in m/s?

Back

8 m/s.
