Review Vocabulary for Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Speed | The ratio of the distance traveled by an object (regardless of its direction) to the time required to travel that distance |
Speed Formula | Speed=Distance divided by time |
Average Speed | Total Distance divided by the Total Time |
Average Speed Formula | Average Speed= total distance divided by total time |
Velocity | The distance traveled over time in a specific direction |
Velocity Formula | Velocity=Distance Divided Time with a direction added |
Acceleration | Rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction. |
Velocity Units | Distance/time with a direction such as m/s south |
Acceleration Units | meters/second/second such as m/s^2 |
Speed Units | Distance/time such as m/s |
Acceleration Formula | Total speed/Total time |
