4
Q
Define velocity
A
Speed in a given direction
5
Q
What is gradient
A
Speed
6

What are flat sections
A
Where it’s stationary
7
Q
What does straight uphill or downhill mean
A
Traveling at a steady speed
8
Q

A
It’s going back towards the start point
10
Q
Curves represent
A
Acceleration or deceleration
11
Q
A steepening curve is when
A
It’s speeding up (increasing gradient)
12
Q
A levelling off curve means
A
It’s slowing down (decreasing gradient)
