What is the equation for velocity? Be able to explain each component.
V = X / t X = Displacement (NOT distance) t = time

What is the equation for acceleration? Be able to explain each component.
What is a = v / t v is the difference in velocity (Vf - Vo) t is time

An object is moving at a velocity of 23 m/s. It accelerates to a velocity of 85 m/s over a time of 8.3 s. What acceleration did it experience?
a = (Vf - Vo) / t a = (85-23) / 8.3 = 7.5 m / s^2
100
An object, moving with a constant velocity, travels 274 m in 23 s. What is its velocity?
What is 11.9 m/s
100
An object accelerates from rest to a speed of 24 m/s over a distance of 56 m. What acceleration did it experience?
What is 5.14 m/s2
200
Explain the difference between velocity and average speed.
The main difference is that speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector. Speed is a function of distance and time, whereas velocity is a function of displacement and time.
