  • What is the definition of distance?
    How far something travels from its starting point
  • How are speed, distance, and time related?
    • Longer distance in less time = higher speed
    • Shorter distance in more time = lower speed
  • What does time measure in the context of distance and speed?

    How long it takes to cover a distance
  • Why is meters per second (m/s) useful?
    It is handy for everyday movements.
  • How do m/s and km/h differ in terms of distance measurement?
    • m/s uses smaller units for shorter distances
    • km/h uses larger units for longer distances
  • What are the two main units of speed?
    Meters per second (m/s) and kilometers per hour (km/h)
  • What does the formula distance = speed × time allow us to do?
    Calculate distance when speed and time are known
  • What is the relationship between speed, distance, and time?
    • Speed = distance / time
    • Distance = speed × time
    • Time = distance / speed
  • What is the speed of running 500 meters in 100 seconds?
    5 m/s
  • What does time signify in the speed formula?
    How long it takes
  • What is the first step to calculate speed using distance and time?
    Divide distance by time
  • If you run at 4 m/s, how far do you travel in one second?
    4 meters
  • Why is it important to calculate speed?
    To understand how fast an object moves
  • If a car travels at 70 km/h for 3 hours, what is the distance traveled?
    210 km
  • If a car drives 120 km in 2 hours, what is its speed?
    60 km/h
  • What does the result of speed represent?
    How fast an object is moving
  • What does speed indicate about an object's movement?
    How fast something is moving
  • What is the calculation for speed when a car drives 120 km in 2 hours?
    speed = 120 km / 2 hours
  • What units can be used to measure speed?
    m/s or km/h
  • What is the formula to calculate speed?
    speed = distance / time
  • How do you calculate speed from distance and time?
    Divide distance by time taken
  • What is the relationship between speed, distance, and time?
    Speed equals distance divided by time
  • What is the formula that expresses the relationship between speed, distance, and time?
    speed = distance / time
  • If you run 500 meters in 100 seconds, what is your speed?
    5 m/s
  • How long does it take to walk 100 meters at 2 m/s?
    50 seconds
  • How do you convert 15 m/s to km/h?
    Multiply by 3.6 to get 54 km/h
  • How does the calculation of time differ from speed?
    Time is distance divided by speed
  • What is the speed of driving 180 km in 3 hours?
    60 km/h
  • Why is kilometers per hour (km/h) useful?
    It is useful for longer distances.
  • What is the speed if you drive 180 km in 3 hours?
    60 km/h
  • How does the formula speed = distance / time help in understanding motion?
    It connects speed, distance, and time mathematically
  • If a car travels at 60 km/h, how far does it move in one hour?

    60 kilometers
  • What are the formulas for converting between m/s and km/h?
    • From m/s to km/h:
    • speed in km/h = (speed in m/s) × 3.6
    • From km/h to m/s:
    • speed in m/s = (speed in km/h) ÷ 3.6
  • What does kilometers per hour (km/h) indicate?
    How many kilometers you go each hour.
  • What is the conversion factor for hours to seconds?
    1 hour = 3600 s
  • If you travel 240 km in 4 hours, what is your speed?
    60 km/h
  • What is the result of converting 15 m/s to km/h?
    15 m/s equals 54 km/h
  • What is the conversion factor for kilometers to meters?
    1 km = 1000 m
  • What is the reverse calculation of finding time?
    Calculating speed using speed = distance / time
  • What does meters per second (m/s) indicate?
    How many meters you travel each second.
