Velocity
Velocity Measures a change in position over a period of time AND in a certain direction Uses the SAME formula as speed Example 4: A plane traveling from Los Angeles to Atlanta is traveling 2000 miles in 4 hours, what is its velocity?
Velocity = Distance ÷ Time Example 4 A plane traveling from Los Angeles to Atlanta is traveling 2000 miles in 4 hours, what is its velocity? Velocity = Distance ÷ Time V = 2000 mi ÷ 4 hours V = 500 mph EAST
Interpret The Graph Below:
Interpret The Graph Below: The graph shows that the objects velocity does not change as time passes. It shows constant velocity.
Interpret The Graph Below:
Interpret The Graph Below: The graph shows that the objects velocity is increasing as time passes – it is accelerating. The straight line shows that it is constant acceleration.
