1
Q
What is speed
A
Speed measures how fast a moving object is travelling
2
Q
What is the “average speed of an object”
A
The distance travelled per unit of time e.g km/h
3
Q
What is the formulae of speed average
A
distance/time = Speed average
4
Q
What is velocity
A
speed in a particular direction
5
Q
What is the formulae to calculate velocity
A
s
- = velocity average (displacement/time = velocity average)
