Presentation on theme: "Speed Velocity Acceleration"— Presentation transcript:

1 Speed Velocity Acceleration
Describing Motion Speed Velocity Acceleration

2 Speed Average speed Distance moved per unit time Average speed = Units
ms-1 distance moved time taken

3 Distance and speed are scalar quantities
Scalar Quantity Magnitude Number and unit Vector Quantity Magnitude and direction

4 Vector Quantities Displacement Velocity Distance + direction
Displacement = final position – initial position Velocity Speed + direction Average velocity = displacement time taken

5 Acceleration The rate of change in velocity Change in speed
Speeding up Slowing down deceleration Change in direction Both Average Acceleration = change in velocity time taken

6 Graphs Distance versus time Slope of the graph = average speed

7 Graphs

8 Example Calculate Albert's and Bob’s average speeds.
Calculate Charlie’s average speed between 0 and 8 s 8 and 13 s 13 and 17 s

9 Graphs Speed versus time Slope of the graph = average acceleration
Area under the graph = distance traveled

10 Speed and Acceleration
Calculate the average acceleration between 0 and 5 s 10 and 13 s 16 and 21 s

11 Speed and Acceleration
Calculate the distance traveled between 0 and 5 s 0 and 13 s Calculate the total distance traveled

12 The End
