• km/hr

• m/sec

• sec/m

Speed can be negative.

• True

• False

What is the SI unit for velocity?

• km/hr

• miles/hr

• sec/m

• m/sec

What do you have to have to determine velocity?

• distance

• Frame of Reference

• Average Speed

• too much information

Speed and velocity must have the same value for a given journey of an object.

• True

• False

What is the distance used to determine velocity?

• Displacement

• 1/2 of the total distance travelled

• Total distance travelled

• Distance travelled - time

You can have a negative velocity.

• True

• False

The average velocity is calculated using ...

• Distance/total time

• speed/time

• displacement/total time

• total time/distance
