1. Velocity and Displacement Page 91

2. Velocity The rate of change of the position of an object. Tells us how fast an object is going AND in what direction. Velocity= Displacement ÷ Time

3. In order to calculate Velocity, we need to understand Displacement. “As the Crow Flies” “As the Crow Flies”

4. Displacement The shortest distance from the starting to final position of an object. “As the Crow Flies” Has direction

5. A car drives 12 miles east, then 20 miles north, then 12 miles west. What is its displacement?

6. A remote control car moves 15 meters south, turns and moves 10 meters east. It then heads northwest for 10 meters before turning west for 5 meters where it stops.
