Bell Work: 3/12/15 Create a four flap foldable (see example below). Add to T.O.C. “Speed & Motion Foldable” Turn horizontally & write the words below on the four flaps of your foldable. Describe the following terms in your own words on the inside of the four flaps: Motion Speed Velocity Formula Triangle Fold one side towards the middle of the page Fold the other side towards the middle of the page Cut from the middle of the flaps back to the folds to make four doors.

Apply proper equations to solve basic problems pertaining to distance, time, speed, and velocity (SPI0707.11.3) Objectives

Motion Look around you- you are likely to see something in motion. Even if you don’t see anything moving, motion is still occurring all around you. Air particles are moving, the Earth is circling the sun, and blood is traveling through your blood vessels. Motion

Motion is an object’s change in position relative to a reference point (the object that appears to stay in place). Example: The hot-air balloon changed position relative to the mountain (a reference point). Motion

Speed is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time taken to travel the distance. S=d/t or S=d÷t Units meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h) An athlete swims a distance from one end of a 50 m pool to the other end in a time of 25 s. What is the athlete’s average speed? Write the equation for average speed. Replace the total distance and time with the values given and solve. S=50m÷25s S=2m/s Speed

Imagine that two birds leave the same tree at the same time Imagine that two birds leave the same tree at the same time. They both fly at 10 km/h for 5 min, 12 km/h for 8 min, and 5 km/h for 10 min. Why don’t they end up at the same place? The birds went in different directions! Velocity

Velocity Velocity is the speed of an object in a particular direction. Speed and velocity are similar, but have different meanings. If you say that an airplane’s velocity is 600 km/h, you would be incorrect. But you could say the plane’s velocity is 600 km/h south. Velocity
