1. Speed and Velocity Examples

2. Speed and Velocity Formulas
Solve for Speed:
S=D/T
2. Solve for Distance
D=S*T
3. Solve for Time
T=D/S

3. 6 Step Method State the known information (put in chart).
State the unknown information (put in chart).

7. CONVERSIONS Converting a small unit to a big unit you must divide.
Converting a big unit to a small unit you must multiply

8. Example 1
You took a car trip with your family to visit relatives who live 750 km away. The trip took 8hrs. What was your average speed in km/hr?

9. If you travel 50km due east in 2 hrs what is your velocity?
Example 2
If you travel 50km due east in 2 hrs what is your velocity?

10. Example 3
If a cyclist rode her bike 8km to school in 20 min, calculate her speed in km/hr*.
*How do you convert min to hrs?

11. Example 4
A bug carries food at a speed of 2 cm/s. How long will it take the bug to carry a bread crumb from the picnic blanket to the bugs home, a distance of 60m*? Express your answer in seconds, minutes and hours.
*Remember to convert meters to centimeters.
