Speed, Velocity and Acceleration Flashcards
1
Q
How do you calculate average speed?
A
Average speed= distance moved over time taken
2
Q
what is speed measured in?
A
meters per second
3
Q
how do you calculate speed?
A
speed= distance/time or V=d/t
4
Q
what is velocity?
A
velocity is a similar quantity to speed but includes a direction as well as its magnitude
5
Q
what is acceleration?
A
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
6
Q
how do you calculate Acceleration?
A
Acceleration= change in velocity over time taken or a=(v-u)/t
7
Q
what what is the units for accelaration?
A
m/s squared
8
Q
What is the unit for Velocity?
A
m/s
