TRANSCRIPT
AIM• Read a distance versus time
graph
• Calculate velocity
DisplacementDisplacement is the change in
position of an object
Displacement
• What is the total displacement in the 100 m dash?
• What is the total displacement if you run from one end of a football field to another?
• What is the total displacement if you run completely around a track stopping at the same place you started?
Speed•Speed is the amount of displacement per unit of time.
Equation for speed
time
distancespeed s =
dt
Speed
•What is my speed if I travel 10 m in 10 s?
•What is my speed if I travel 100 m in 5 s?
•What is my speed if I travel 42 m in 3 s?
Velocity
t
dv
Velocity
•What is my velocity if I travel 10 m north in 10 s?
•What is my velocity if I travel 100 m left in 5 s?
•What is my velocity if I travel 42 m backwards in 3 s?

How are velocity and speed different???
PART TWO: READING A DISTANCE VS TIME GRAPH
How to solve:• Read question• Find distance• Find time• Plug into equation• Write answer and include direction of
movement
Solving for Velocity using a graph
What is Leo’s velocity between t = 0 and t = 2?
What is Leo’s velocity between t = 2 and t = 5?
What is Leo’s velocity between t = 5 and t = 8?
Is Leo’s velocity increasing or decreasing?
