What is A*T or Acceleration x Time
300
the measure of the change in velocity during a period of time
What is acceleration.

400
Acceleration=
What is the change in velocity/the change in time, V/T, or V2-V1/T2-T1
400
when are distance and displacement the same?
What is when they are the same when an object moves in a straight line in one direction.
500
the difference between the initial position and the final position of an object that has moved.
What is Displacement
500
Link rides Epona at a speed of 20 m/s. He accelerates at a rate of 4 m/s^2 to a final speed of 38 m/s. How long did it take him to reach his final speed?
What is 4.5 seconds
500
Tyrion rides to Winterfell at 22 m/min for 4 hours. How far did he travel?
What is 5280 m
500
Time given velocity and acceleration
What is Velocity/ Acceleration, V/A
500
When a car is slowing down, is it accelerating?
What is Yes, because acceleration is a measure of how the velocity of an object changes. When a car slows down, it is changing velocity.
