This is the distance that an object will travel in 15 seconds, if it is moving at 10 m/s.
What is 150 meters? (150 m)
100
Slope of a speed-time graph
What is acceleration?
100
This is the formula to find the amount of time that something was in motion.
What is TIME = DISTANCE / velocity?
100
This is the formula to find the acceleration of an object.
What is ACCELERATION = (FINAL SPEED - INITIAL SPEED) / TIME?
200
Unit for velocity
What is m/s or any units of distance/time
200
Slope of a distance-time graph
What is speed or velocity?
200
Velocity is described with two things: speed, and this.
What is direction?
200
This happens to the velocity if the acceleration is negative.
What is decelerate? OR What is slow down? OR What is decrease in velocity?
