Speed, Displacement, Velocity And Acceleration Flashcards
1
Q
What is speed
A
Speed is the distance travelled by an object in per unit of time
2
Q
What is the speed formula
A
Speed= distance/ time
3
Q
What unit do you use when describing speed
A
Metres per second or m/s
4
Q
What is velocity
A
Velocity is the speed of an object and direction in which it is travelling
5
Q
What unit do you use when describing velocity
A
Metres per second (direction) or m/s (direction)
6
Q
What is acceleration
A
Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time
7
Q
What is the formula for velocity
A
Speed= distance/time + direction
8
Q
What unit do you use when describing acceleration
A
Meters per second squared or m/s ^2
9
Q
What is the acceleration formula
A
Acceleration(a) = change in velocity(v) / time (t)
10
Q
What is displacement
A
Displacement is the distance in a given direction
