Back

Initial speed.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Speed in a specific direction.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed (S) = distance (d) / time (t).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (A) = Change in Velocity / time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance (d) = speed (s) * time (t).
