Motion Formulas And Variables

Question 1

What is the formula for speed?

Answer 1

V = d/t (speed = distance/time)

Question 2

What is the unit for speed?

Answer 2

Meters per second (m/s)

Question 3

How do you find distance?

Answer 3

d = v * t

Question 4

How to calculate time?

Answer 4

t = d/v

Question 5

What is the formula for velocity?

Answer 5

v = (delta) d/ (delta) t

Question 6

What is the formula for acceleration?

Answer 6

a = (delta) v/ (delta) t

Question 7

What is th difference between scalar and vector quantities?

Answer 7

Scalars have magnitude only (e.g. speed); vectors have magnitude and direction (e.g. velocity)

Question 8

What is displacement?

Answer 8

Change in position (vector quantity)
