1
Q
What is speed and velocity measured in
A
m/s
2
Q
What is the difference between speed and velocity
A
Velocity is direction specific but speed has no regard to the direction
3
Q
Formula for speed
A
Speed = Distance/Time
4
Q
What is Acceleration
A
How quickly velocity is changing
5
Q
What is the unit of acceleration
A
m/s2

Q
Formula of acceleration
A
Acceleration = Change in velocity/Time taken
7
Q
What is change in velocity
A
Final velocity - Initial velocity (V - U)
8
