1. What is average speed?

- An average speed can be express as the rate of change in distance travel with respect of time it
took to travel in a specific distance. Average speed measures the average rate of speed over the
extent of a trip. An average speed is usually applied to vehicles like cars, trains, and airplanes. It
is often measured in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (kph).
2. What is average acceleration?
- An object whose velocity is changing is said to be accelerating, or as it is referred to the rate of
an object which its velocity changes from a time of distance, or it is were velocity change per
unit of time. Acceleration is a velocity in meters divided by time in seconds, the SI units for
acceleration are often as written as m/s2 and that is, meters per second squared or meters per
second per second.
3. What is average velocity?
- In an ordinary understanding of speed and velocity both are refer on how fast an object is
moving. But in physics, velocity includes direction and it is a vector which thus must have a
magnitude and a direction. Average velocity, however, involves total displacement, instead of
distance. It is calculated by dividing the total displacement by the time interval. Another
important aspect of velocity is that it is always measured relative to something.
4. What is distance?
- It is the total scalar length of the actual path of an object moved. The SI unit for distance is the
meter (m). Short distances may be measured in centimeters (cm), and long distances may be
measured in kilometers (km)
5. What is displacement?
- It is a vector that points from where the object started to where it is ended, regardless of the
path it took, or it is the separation between the original and final position of an object. Since
displacement indicates direction, it is a vector and can be either positive or negative, depending
on the choice of positive direction.
