Velocity and Acceleration Quiz

Which of the following is an example of velocity?

• 25 m/s

• 1500 km/hr

• 55 m/h south

• all of the above

How are speed and velocity different?

• Speed has a distance while velocity does not.

• Velocity has a direction while speed does not.

• There is no difference between speed and velocity.

• Speed is calculated distance / time while velocity is calculated time / distance.

What is the formula to calculate distance?

• distance = speed / time
• distance = speed x time
• distance = time/speed
• distance = distance/speed squared

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object
