- Q5What is speed?the rate at which an object moves30s
- Q6To measure speed over time when it is not constant, we use the . . . ?average speed30s
- Q7What is the most common frame of reference?Earth30s

- Q93 miles per hour (3 mph) is a measure of . . . ?speed30s
- Q1010 miles per second east is a measure of . . . ?Velocity30s
- Q11True or False: You can combine velocities when you travel in the same direction, but not in different directions.False! You add velocities in the same direction; subtract them when they are in different directions.30s
