6. Back in Time to 2009
Randy Moss was running towards the end zone, trying to catch a touchdown. His team started at the 50 yard line.

7. He ran and ran…
Until he got to the 25 yard line. It took him 5 seconds.

8. But then…
He sprained his ankle!

9. However, he’s a team player..
… and he kept running towards the end zone.

10. But… This time, he was much slower.
He caught the ball and ran towards the end zone, but it took him 10 seconds.

11. Unfortunately,
Because he was so slow, the other team tackled him before he could score a touch down – right on the side of the 0 yard line.

12. And it didn’t work out too well for Randy.

13. Question: What is the total distance Randy ran? The total time?
What was his speed?
Time (in seconds)
Position (in yards) 50 5 25 15

14. Another Question:
Was his speed 3.33 yards/second during his entire run from the 50 yard line to the end zone?
Was there any time that he was going faster or slower?
Time (in seconds)
Position (in yards) 50 5 25 15

15. One More Question:
What was his speed when he ran from the 50 yard line to the 25 yard line?
Time (in seconds)
Position (in yards) 50 5 25 15

16. Last Question: What is the difference between the different speeds?
Time (in seconds)
Position (in yards) 50 5 25 15

17. Average Speed The overall speed from travel that depends on:
Total amount of distance AND
Total amount of time
Even if the object is moving sometimes faster, sometimes slower, what is the overall speed that it is going at?

18. Instantaneous Speed
How fast an object is moving RIGHT NOW – in this INSTANT
Current distance/current time

19. Constant Speed The speed doesn’t change the entire trip
The speed at any given point is exactly the same as the average speed

20. Some Guy Dan

21. Is running a 10K race!
10K = 10 kilometers = 10,000 meters

22. He starts out okay…
And runs the first 2 kilometers in 10 minutes.

23. Total Distance (meters)
Remember
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Dan ran 2000 meters in 10 minutes
Total Time (minutes)
Total Distance (meters) 10
2000

24. And then he starts to slow down…
And in the next 10 minutes, he only runs 1 kilometer

25. Total Distance (meters)
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Add 10 minutes onto the time Dan’s already spent running
Total Time (minutes)
Total Distance (meters) 10
2000 20
3000

26. Because he doesn’t want to end up like this:

27. Dan drinks some of this:
MAGIC
POTION OF
POWER

28. And it starts to work.
Dan runs 3 KILOMETERS in the next 10 minutes!!

29. Total Distance (meters)
3 kilometer = 3000 meters – added on to what he’s already run!
Add 10 minutes onto the time Dan’s already spent running
Total Time (minutes)
Total Distance (meters) 10
2000 20
3000 30
6000

30. BUT THEN… The MAGIC POTION OF POWER really starts to work…
… and DAN THE MAN runs 4 kilometers in the next 10 minutes!!!!

31. DAN WINS THE RACE!!!

32. Total Distance (meters)
Discussion Questions
What was Dan’s average speed?
When was Dan’s instantaneous speed the slowest?
When was Dan’s instantaneous speed the fastest?
Total Time (minutes)
Total Distance (meters) 10
2000 20
3000 30
6000 40
10000

34. Speed Lab
You have 3 minutes to complete the pre-lab questions. We will then go outside to complete the lab. After the lab, you’ll complete the calculation and analysis questions.

35. Work Time
If you finish your lab early, work on the homework provided to you today that is due on Wednesday.
