What is speed?
How fast an object is travelling
1 of 8
What is velocity?
How fast something is going with DIRECTION
2 of 8
Formula for SPEED
SPEED = distance ÷ time
3 of 8
What is a gradient?
In distance-time graphs, it tells you how fast an object is travelling. GRADIENT = SPEED.
4 of 8
What is acceleration?
How quickly the velocity is changing. --> the change in velocity can be a CHANGE IN SPEED or CHANGE IN DIRECTION or both.
5 of 8
Formula for ACCELERATION
ACCELERATION = change in velocity ÷ time
6 of 8
What is the unit for acceleration?
m/s²
7 of 8
What is the unit for speed?
m/s or mph or km/h
