Question 1

What is distance

Answer 1

Distance is a measure of how far apart objects are form each other.

Question 2

What is the definition of speed

Answer 2

Speed is a measure of how fast
something moves.

Question 3

What is average speed

Answer 3

Average speed is a measure of
how fast something moves overall.

Question 4

Your speed at a particular instant
is called?

Answer 4

your instantaneous speed.

Question 5

When converting km/h —> m/s

Answer 5

divide by 3.6

Question 6

When converting m/s —> km/h

Answer 6

Multiply by 3.6

Question 7

average speed =

Answer 7

distance travelled/ time taken

v= d/t

Question 8

Distance =

Answer 8

Average speed * Time

d=v*t

Question 9

Time =

Answer 9

Distance/average speed

t=d/v

Question 10

What does a distance-time graph show?

Answer 10

how far an object travels as time progresses.

Question 11

4. steep slope means:
5. slope is also known as:

Answer 11

1. that motion has stopped
2. that object covers greater distance
3. moving slow
4. moving fast
5. gradient

Question 12

What is the gradient or slope equivalent to?

Answer 12

the object’s average speed over a time
interval.

Question 13

What does a speed-time graph show?

Answer 13

an object’s speed changes over time.
