What is the formula for speed?

V = s/t

or Distance= speed/time

200

How fast an object is going

Speed

200

What type of line indicates positive acceleration?

Upward, from left to right

200

What is the formula for velocity?

Velocity = displacement/time

300

How far an object has traveled

Distance

300

What type of line indicates an object is being thrown?

A U-shaped line

300

What is the formula for acceleration?

400
A slope that indicates increase in speed/direction is a __________ slope.

Positive

400

A slope that indicates decrease in speed/direction is a __________ slope.

Negative

400

What type of line indicates negative acceleration?

Downward, from left to right

400

What is the formula for Average Velocity?

Change in Velocity = gravity x time

400

Is it possible to maintain a constant velocity when turning a corner? Explain. 

No, because your direction will change. In order for velocity to remain constant, your direct must not change. You can maintain the same speed, but not velocity.
