physics (speed,velocity and acceleration)

Question	Answer
What are the units for mass?	The units for mass are kilograms
What is the formula for average speed?	Distance moved ÷ time taken
What is the vertical axis in a distance-time graph?	Distance travelled from the start
What does a steep line correspond to in a distance-time graph?	fast steady speed
How is velocity different from speed?	Velocity is speed in a given direction
What is the formula for acceleration?	velocity ÷ time taken
What is the vertical axis in a speed-time graph?	The vertical axis in a speed-time graph is the velocity of the object.
What does a downwards line correspond to in a speed-time graph?	Constant deceleration
What does the area beneath a velocity-time graph represent?	The distance travelled
If a car increases in velocity from +5 m/s to +15 m/s in three seconds, what is its acceleration?	+3.3 m/s^2
