= constant speed forward = no speed, stopped = constant speed; negative direction Time (s) Distance mDistance m
Units Distance: meters (m) Time: seconds (s) Speed: meters per second (m/s)
Equation for speed Speed = distance/time Also known as: Distance = rate x time
What does the slope represent? Slope = rise over run Distance over time = speed The slope represents the speed
Equation for average speed average speed = total distance/total time It is NOT an average of each segment!!
=acceleration = constant speed =negative acceleration; deceleration; slowing down Speed m/sSpeed m/s Time (s)
Acceleration Change in Velocity Acceleration = final velocity – starting velocity time
