SpeedSpeed

Speed: Speed: the distance traveled by a moving the distance traveled by a moving object per unit of timeobject per unit of time

To calculate speed, use the equation To calculate speed, use the equation

Speed = distance / timeSpeed = distance / time

Speed only gives distance and time!Speed only gives distance and time!

Average SpeedAverage Speed

Average speed: Average speed: the speed of moving the speed of moving objects is not always constantobjects is not always constant

To calculate average speed you look To calculate average speed you look at at total time and distancetotal time and distance

Average speed = total distance / total time

AccelerationAcceleration

Acceleration is a change in velocity.

AccelerationAcceleration

The The change in velocitychange in velocity divided by the divided by the timetime it takes for the change to occurit takes for the change to occur

Acceleration = Acceleration = (final velocity – initial velocity) (final velocity – initial velocity)

timetimeVelocity is measured in m/s and time in Velocity is measured in m/s and time in

seconds.seconds.Units for Acceleration are m/s/sUnits for Acceleration are m/s/s
