This is calculated when you take the total distance traveled and divide by the total time.

What is Average speed?

100

Kim travels 300 miles in 4 hours. This is her average speed. 

What is 75 mi/hr?

100

A negative acceleration means this.

What is the object is slowing down? 

100

The slope of a velocity-time graph tells you this. 

What is acceleration? 

100

A rocket moving at a speed of 710 m/s can travel very far in 15 seconds.  This how far it travels. 

What is 10,650 m?

200

This describes an object’s speed and direction

What is velocity?
200

A car travels 2,000 mi at a constant speed of 70 mi/hr. It takes this long to go this distance? 

What is 28.6 hours? 

200

A skier is going downhill at a speed of 9 m/s.  The hill gets steeper and his speed increases to 18 m/s in 3 s.  This is his acceleration.

What is 3m/s2?

200
The graph of an object that is not moving will look like this on a distance vs. time graph.  

What is a horizontal line? 

200

If a go-cart slows down from a speed of 20 m/s to 15 m/s in 0.92 s, this is its acceleration.

What is -5.43 m/s2?

300

The slope on a distance vs. time graph tells you this

What is speed?

300

Rate of change in velocity is known as this. 

What is acceleration?

300

A bus traveling 12 m/s comes to a stop after 6 seconds.  This was its acceleration.

What is -2m/s2?

300

A straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph means this. 

What is a constant speed? 

300

This is what your speedometer shows. 

What is instantaneous speed? 

400

A runner jogs 60 m on a track towards the finish line, then turns and runs back 20 m.  This is her distance and displacement. 

What is 

d=80 m

x=40 m, toward finish line

400

This is the velocity of a truck that travels 250 miles North to NYC in 5 hours.

What is 50 mi/hr North?

400

This is the acceleration of an object traveling at constant speed.

What is zero? 

400

The graph shows the object is doing this. 

What is slowing down? 

400

This is what a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates. 

What is a constant speed? 

500

This is the speed of the object in this distance-time graph. 

What is 0.3 m/s?

500

This makes it possible for velocity to change without changing speed. 

What is changing direction. 

500

A babysitter is pushing a stroller from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.05 m/s2.  This is the velocity of the stroller after it has traveled for 285 s.
