1 Both Mr Rabbit and Mr Tortoise took the same round trip, but Mr Rabbit slept & returned later.

Who is right?
Me, as I spent less time on the
trip.
No, I travelled more distance every
second I ran.
Who runs faster?

All Motion is relative
• All motion is relative to a reference.
• This means that we describe motion of an object relative to some other object
![Page 8: Speed, velocity and acceleration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815972550346895dc6b618/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
All Motion is relative
• In our environment, the reference for motion is the earth’s surface, and speeds are measured relative to the earth
• The earth moves at 107,000 km/h relative to the sun

Calculating Motion and Speed
![Page 10: Speed, velocity and acceleration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815972550346895dc6b618/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1 Speed
How can we describe how fast an object moves?
E.g. A car on Beltway 8 travels 90 km in 1 hour.
We say that the car travels at a speed of 90 km/hr.
![Page 11: Speed, velocity and acceleration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815972550346895dc6b618/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1 Speed
Speed is a measure of how fast something moves.
Speed = distance travelled per unit of time
Speed = distance travelled per unit of timeSI unit: m/s or km/h (for long distances)
How can we describe how fast an object moves?

Question 1
• A bug crawls 10 cm in 5 sec. What was the bug’s approximate speed in cm/sec?
2 cm/sec

Average speed does not tell the variations during the journey. On most trips, the speed at any instant is often different from the average speed.

Question 3
• A student runs around a circular track that is 1000m in length in a time of 30 min. What is the average velocity of the student?
0 m/minIf the student runs completely around the track, they are back
where they began. So their overall displacement is zero.
![Page 23: Speed, velocity and acceleration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815972550346895dc6b618/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
c Instantaneous velocity
The velocity at any instant is called instantaneous velocity.
If a car moves at a constant velocity...
… its average and instantaneous velocities have the same value.

3 Acceleration
When an object moves faster and faster,
its speed is increasing (velocity changed).
![Page 27: Speed, velocity and acceleration](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815972550346895dc6b618/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

When an object moves slower and slower,
its speed is decreasing (velocity changed).
