• Speed ( ) is the distance an object travels divided by the time to travel that distance.
• In other words
– Speed is a scalar quantity (no direction).
These two ski gondolas have the same speed but have different velocities since they are travelling in opposite directions.

• Velocity ( ) is the displacement of an object divided by the time interval.• In other words
• Velocity describes how fast an object’s position is changing.
•Velocity is a vector quantity (has a direction).
•The units for velocity and speed are metres per second (m/s).

Calculating the Slope of the Position-Time Graph
• To learn more about velocity, we must now understand straight line graphs.
• The slope of a graph is represented by
– rise = change in y-axis– run = change in x-axis

On a position-time graph if “forward” is given a positive direction:
• A positive slope means that the object’s average velocity is forward.
• A negative slope means that the object’s average velocity is backwards.
• Zero slope means the object’s average velocity is zero.

• Remember , (average velocity), is a vector and we must therefore always include a direction.
• If we were to discuss , (average speed), we do not need to include direction, because speed is a scalar.

Average Velocity• Usually, objects do not move at a perfectly constant speed.• For this reason, we often use “average velocity” in our
calculations. • The slope of a position-time graph is the object’s average
velocity ( ).• Average velocity is the rate of change in position for a time
interval. avv

The formula for finding velocity can be rearranged so that you can solve for either displacement or time.
You can solve for time by taking this equation and divide both sides by leaving the equation:

Converting between m/s and km/h• To convert from km/h to m/s
– Change km to m: 1 km = 1000 m– Change h to s: 1 h = 3600 s
• Therefore multiply by 1000 and divide by 3600
or• Divide the speed in km/h by 3.6 to
obtain the speed in m/s.
For example, convert 75 km/h to m/s.
