This is calculated when you take the total distance traveled and divide by the total time.
What is Average speed?
Kim travels 300 miles in 4 hours. This is her average speed.
What is 75 mi/hr?
A negative acceleration means this.
What is the object is slowing down?
The slope of a velocity-time graph tells you this.
What is acceleration?
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?
This describes an object’s speed and direction
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?
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?
What is a horizontal line?
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?
The slope on a distance vs. time graph tells you this
What is speed?
Rate of change in velocity is known as this.
What is acceleration?
A bus traveling 12 m/s comes to a stop after 6 seconds. This was its acceleration.
What is -2m/s2?
A straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph means this.
What is a constant speed?
This is what your speedometer shows.
What is instantaneous speed?
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
This is the velocity of a truck that travels 250 miles North to NYC in 5 hours.
What is 50 mi/hr North?
This is the acceleration of an object traveling at constant speed.
What is zero?
The graph shows the object is doing this.
What is slowing down?
This is what a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates.
What is a constant speed?
This is the speed of the object in this distance-time graph.
What is 0.3 m/s?
This makes it possible for velocity to change without changing speed.
What is changing direction.
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.
What is 14.25 m/s?
This is the acceleration of the object at point A, B, and C.
What is
A- 15m/s2
B- 0m/s2
C-6.7m/s2
Tamra rides her bike 10 blocks north and then turns and rides 5 blocks east. This is her distance and displacement.
What is
Distance = 15 blocks
Displacement = 11.18 blocks NE
