Physics Talk What is Speed? What is constant speed? Distance traveled over time Equation: S=d/t Speed that does not change over time
Physics Talk What is Average Speed? What is instantaneous Speed? Average Speed=Total Distance Total Time Speed at a given moment
Physics Talk What is the difference between speed and velocity? Velocity is speed in a DIRECTION!
Physics Talk What is happening in each distance-time graph?
Physics Talk How do you figure out velocity (speed) from a distance-time graph? Calculate the slope of the line v=Δd Δt
