Speed and Velocity Post Flashcard

Front

Velocity is

Back

speed with a direction

Front

What is speed?

Back

The rate at which an object changes position

Front

Which is correct? Options: speed = distance x time, speed = speed divided time, speed = Distance divide time, Speed = time x speed

Back

speed = Distance divide time

Front

Speed is different from velocity because

Back

Velocity has a direction

Front

What is this object doing? Options: speeding up, slowing down, not moving, moving at a constant velocity

Back

moving at a constant velocity

Front

What is the difference between the velocity and the speed of an object?

Back

Velocity has a direction associated with it, while speed has no specific direction.

Front

Which of the following best describes the velocity of an object? Options: 50 m/s, 50 m east, 50 m/s east, 50 m/s²

Back

50 m/s east

Front

What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?

Back

Distance and time

Front

Total distance divided by total time is

Back

average speed

Front

What is the correct equation to calculate speed? Options: S = distance/time, S = time/distance, S = distance x time, S = distance/time²

Back

S = distance/time
