TodayToday’’s Objectives ObjectiveWe will be able to calculate the

speed and velocity of an object in motion by analyzing given data.

SPEEDSPEED

DEFINITION Speed measures how quickly an object moves a distance.Speed is equal to the distance the object travels divided by the time it took the object to travel that distance.Speed is always written as units of distance (like meters) over units of time (like seconds)

SPEEDSPEED

EQUATION

Speed = distance ÷ time

ORS = D

T

SPEEDSPEED

EXAMPLEA car travels 50 miles in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

Speed = distance ÷ time

•Speed = ?_ Distance = 50 miles Time= 2 hours

•Set up the Equation: Speed = 50 miles (divide)

2 hours

•Divide and solve: Speed = 25 miles in 1 hour

•The average speed is 25 miles per hour

GP 1GP 1A car travels 300 miles to the

beach and gets there in 6 hours. On average, how fast was the car traveling on the trip?

GP 2GP 2A ball is thrown 30 meters in 10

seconds. How fast was the ball traveling?

VELOCITYVELOCITY

DEFINITION

Velocity is how fast something moves in a certain DIRECTION. It is calculated the same way as speed, but you need to add the direction that the object is traveling to your answer.

VelocityVelocity

EQUATION

V = D (and add a direction)

T

SPEEDSPEED

EXAMPLE

A car travels 30 miles in 2 hours going East. What is its velocity?

GP 3GP 3A plane takes off from Boston

and travels 3000 miles across the country to San Francisco, California in 6 hours. What is the velocity of the plane?

GP 4GP 4Two boys are running in opposite

directions at 4 m/s. Explain your answers

Do they have the same speed?Do they have the same velocity?

GP 5GP 5
