2. Distance, Speed and Time
Speed = distance (in metres)
time (in seconds)
Dave walks 200 metres in 40 seconds. What is his speed?
Laura covers 2km in 1,000 seconds. What is her speed?
How long would it take to run 100 metres if you run at 10m/s?
Steve travels at 50m/s for 20s. How far does he go?
Susan drives her car at about 40m/s (136km/hr or 85mph). How long does it take her to drive 20km?

What is the speed during the first 20 seconds?
How far is the object from the start after 60 seconds?
What is the speed during the last 40 seconds?
When was the object travelling the fastest?

6. Speed vs. Velocity Speed is simply how fast you are travelling…
This car is travelling at a speed of 20m/s
Velocity is “speed in a given direction”…
This car is travelling at a velocity of 20m/s east

7. Distance-Time Graphs D t
acceleration

8. Acceleration V-U T A Acceleration = change in velocity (in m/s)
(in m/s2) time taken (in s)
A cyclist accelerates from 0 to 10m/s in 5 seconds. What is her acceleration?
A ball is dropped and accelerates downwards at a rate of 10m/s2 for 12 seconds. How much will the ball’s velocity increase by?
A car accelerates from 10 to 20m/s with an acceleration of 2m/s2. How long did this take?
A rocket accelerates from 1,000m/s to 5,000m/s in 2 seconds. What is its acceleration?

13. Force causes a body to change velocity
The unit is called the Newton (N)
A few types of Forces
Magnetic Force
Tensile Forces
Friction happens when 2 bodies are in contact.

14. Friction
Friction is the force that opposes motion of a body when it is in contact with another.
Friction happens when 2 bodies are in contact.
Lubrication reduces friction

16. Friction What is friction? Give 3 examples where it is annoying:
Give 3 examples where it is useful:
What effect does friction have on the surfaces?

17. Force and acceleration
If the forces acting on an object are unbalanced then the object will accelerate, like these wrestlers:
Force (in N) = Mass (in kg) x Acceleration (in m/s2) F A M
