contrast between speed and velocity
explain the difference between and calculate instant and average speed
interpret and construct distance/displacement and time graphs
velocity/speed vs time graphs
3
Multiple Choice
A train travels 25 km in .5 hrs. How fast is the train going?
25 miles/hr
5 miles/hr
125 km/hr
50 km/hr

speed = scalar quantity
velocity = vector quantity
you often see the two terms used in place of each other, depending on the resource
5
speed = scalar quantity
how fast an object is moving
velocity = vector quantity
how fast an object changes position
also has a direction
can be negative
you often see the two terms used in place of each other, depending on the resource

7
instant speed = the speed of an object in motion at any given moment
average speed = the average taken of all instantaneous speeds (s= d/t)
we don't need to 'calculate' instant speed
8
Multiple Choice
Calculate the velocity of a car that travels 556 kilometers northeast in 3.4 hours.
163.52 km/hr northeast
163.52 km/hr
0.006 km/hr
0.006 km/hr northeast
