A car on the highway is traveling 55 mi/hr and it passes another car. In order to pass, the car has to accelerate to 65 mi/hr. The car reaches this velocity 40 seconds later. What is the average acceleration of the car?
.25 mi/hr/sec
What is the speed in a given direction, example 15 miles per hour
velocity

What is the change in position relative to some fixed object or place
motion
What does a fast speed look like on a distance and time graph?
The slope is steep
What does a straight line indicate on a graph when calculating speed
constant speed
