time
2 of 20
What is on the y-axis of a distance-time graph?
distance
3 of 20

greater
4 of 20
What does a straight line on a distance-time graph mean?
a stationary body
5 of 20
Speed =
distance travelled, divided by time taken
6 of 20
What is the speed of a body?
The speed travelled per second
7 of 20
What is the SI unit of speed?
m/s
8 of 20
What is the SI unit of distance?

9 of 20
What is velocity?
Speed in a given direction
10 of 20
What do we say happens if the velocity of a body changes?
It accelerates
11 of 20
What is acceleration?
Change of velocity per second
12 of 20
What is the SI unit of acceleration?
m/s/s
13 of 20
What happens if the value calculated for acceleration is negative?
