2. Constant Versus Average Speed

3. Ant #1 crawled 12 inches in 1 second. Ant #2 crawled 24 inches in 1 second. Compare the speed of the ants- which one is faster? How does the distance compare?

4. DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO DISTANCE Greater speed (faster)= more distance Less speed (slower) = less distance

5. The top plane flew 220 meters in 1 second. A bottom plane flew 220 meters in 2 seconds. Compare their speeds-which plane is faster? How do the times compare?

6. SPEED IS…. Inversely Proportional to TIME Greater speed, less time Less speed, more time

7. CONSTANT SPEED SPEED THAT DOES NOT CHANGE

8. CONSTANT SPEED

9. AVERAGE SPEED AVERAGE = total distance traveled SPEED total time

10. AVERAGE SPEED

12. A car travels 32 km during the first 2 hours. Then it travels 13 km in the next hour. What is the average speed of the car? ANSWER: Avg speed= total distance/total time total distance = 32 km + 13 km = 45 km total time = 2 h + 1h = 3 hr Avg speed = 45 km/3 hr Avg speed = 15 km/hr

13. CONSTANT SPEED

14. Definitions: A change in position in a certain amount of time is __________. __________________ is the rate at which an object moves and is determined by dividing ____________ by _____________. _________________________ is speed that does not change. _________________________ is calculated by dividing the total distance by the total time.
