Year 10 Force And Motion Practice Test

What term describes the distance travelled over the time taken?

Distance Time Acceleration Speed

Correct Answer:

Speed

Explanation:

Speed is the rate at which distance is covered. When you divide the distance travelled by the time it takes, you obtain speed. This doesn't include direction—that would be velocity. For example, traveling 100 meters in 20 seconds gives a speed of 5 meters per second. Distance describes how far you went, time describes how long it took, and acceleration describes how quickly your velocity is changing.
