Speed, Velocity, Acceleration

“Find Someone Who” can tell you what speed, velocity, and acceleration are. › You must locate three different peers to tell

you what they think these terms mean and record the answers in the “What we think” row of the document.

› You are expected to answer as well as ask.› It’s OK to be wrong but your must have and

answer › The student who answers needs to sign

his/her name next to their answer. 2 minute time limit per word


Now list an “A” for agree or a “D” for disagree next to the definitions

Turn to your shoulder partner and explain why they agree or disagree with the definitions.› You have 2 ½ minutes› GO


Update your handouts by recording the scientific definitions of speed, velocity, and acceleration in the “What We Know” row of their handouts.

The PowerPoint will instruct you to record examples as they complete their notes on the handout.

Speed The distance an object travels in a

certain amount of time.

› Average speed – Total distance divided by total time

› Constant speed - Speed that does not change

On your paper, describe an example of an object at a constant speed.

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Speed equals distance divided by time.

Let’s Practice Calculating Speed

A football field is about 100 meters long. If it takes a person 20 seconds to run its length, how fast was the football player running?

On the side of your paper, calculate this problem. Make sure you show all work!

Check Your Work

A football field is about 100 meters long. If it takes a person 20 seconds to run its length, how fast was the football player running?

› Speed = Distance ÷ Time

› Speed = 100 m ÷ 20 s› Speed = 5m/s

Remember to label

the UNITS!!

Velocity

An object’s speed and direction at a given time› The wind is blowing 65 km/hr from the

North.

On your paper, describe an example of velocity.

Acceleration A change in the direction or speed

(velocity) of an object over time – which may be:› A change in speed

Starting Stopping Speeding up (positive acceleration) Slowing down (negative acceleration)

› A change in direction Acceleration is caused by unbalanced forces. On your paper, describe an example of an

object accelerating.


How does your “What We Think” section compare to your “What We Know” section?

Does anyone notice any differences in the meaning of the three terms? Explain.› Speed is distance/time, velocity is

speed with a direction, and acceleration is a change in speed and/or direction.


The terms we have noted are extremely important in our upcoming unit of study. Be prepared to refer back to them often.

Highlight, circle, or underline the key points

Calculating and Graphing Speed

Title the next blank page Calculating and Graphing Speed

You are going to draw 5 easy graph and interpret the speed

Interpret the Graph Below:

The graph shows an object which is not moving (at rest).

The distance stays the same as time goes by because it is not moving.


The graph showsthat the objects distance increases as time passes.The object is moving and so it has velocity.

The straight line shows it is a constant (not changing).


Just like the previous graph, this graph shows an object moving with constant velocity.


The curve, in the graph, shows that the object’s velocity is changing as time passes.

This is acceleration.


In the first part of the graph, the object is moving with constant velocity.

In the second part of the graph, the object is at rest (not moving).

In the third part, the object is again moving with constant velocity.


LAB instructions Everyone is always recording Group Roles (you will rotate jobs)

Directions: 1. Read the following scenario. 2. Calculate the average speed. 3. Briefly describe all points of acceleration and

explain.

A female cheetah left her cubs to hunt for food. She sprinted 30 m away from her den in two seconds. Next, she turned around and traveled 10 meters back toward her den in three seconds. She suddenly stopped and listened intently for two seconds. Then, she traveled 40 meters away from her den in four seconds.

force, motion and acceleration

Notes

Now you are going to start filling out the rest of the paper from ebackpack

Copy what is in yellow and include a quick picture

Motion A change in the position of an object

Caused by force (a push or pull)

Force

A push or pull on an object Measured in units called newtons (N) Measured with a spring scale Forces act in pairs

Types of Force: (pick two)› gravity› electric› magnetic› friction› centripetal

Balanced Forces When all the forces acting on an object are

equal (net force is zero)

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion.

Balanced forces can change the physical properties of an object without changing its motion.

In your notes, describe an example of a balanced force.

How Can Balanced Forces Affect Objects?

Cause the shape of an object to change without changing its motion

Cause an object at rest to stay at rest or an object in motion to stay in motion (inertia)

Cause an object moving at a constant speed to continue at a constant speed

In your notes, describe an example of a balanced force affecting an object.

Inertia

1. An object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

2. An object in motion will remain in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

3. When all forces acting on an object are equal (balanced)

Unbalanced Forces

When all the forces acting on an object are not equal

The forces can be in the same direction or in opposite directions.

Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.

In your notes, describe an example of an unbalanced force.

How Can Unbalanced Forces Affect Objects?

Acceleration is caused by unbalanced forces:› slow down› speed up› stop › start › change direction› change shape

In your notes, describe an example of an unbalanced force affecting an object.

Net Force The total of all forces acting on an

object:

› Forces in the same direction are added. The object will move in the direction of

the force.

› Forces in opposite directions are subtracted. An object will move in the direction of

the greater force.

You have 5 minutes to rotate around the room and find three DIFFERENT partners. You will combine arrows. You decide which direction you want them to turn. Fill in the chart

Mass and Weight Mass is the amount of stuff (matter) in an object.

› The mass of an object will remain the same anywhere in the universe.

› Mass is measured in grams or kilograms.

Mass and Weight Weight is the mass (kg) of an object multiplied by the

acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s2).› The weight of an object depends on the gravitational pull of the

location in the universe.› The gravitational pull on the Moon is only 1/6 of Earth’s

gravitational pull.› Weight is measured in newtons (N).

Mass and Weight Example: F=ma

A person with a mass of 25 kg x 9.8 m/s2

gravitational acceleration is equal to 245 N of weight force.

F= 25 kg x 9.8 m/s2

F = 245 N

The person exerts 245 N of force on the ground.

If the person went to the Moon, they would only weigh 1/6

of 245 N.

Force Force (N) = mass (kg) x

acceleration (m/s2)

F ÷

m x a

Force Acceleration (m/s2) = force (N) ÷

mass (kg)

F ÷

m x a

Force Mass (kg) = force (N) ÷ acceleration

(m/s2)

F ÷

m x a

PracticeThe acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The

force exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the mass of the sprinter?

Force = Mass = Acceleration =

Check Your AnswerThe acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force

exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the mass

of the sprinter?

Force = 650 N Mass = 65 kg Acceleration = 10 m/s2

Mass = force ÷ acceleration

Mass = 650 ÷ 10 Mass = 65

PracticeA 56 kg cart is accelerating at 15 m/s2.

Calculate the force exerted on the cart?


Check Your AnswerA 56 kg cart is accelerating at 15 m/s2.

Calculate the force exerted on the cart?


Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2)

Force = 56 x 15 Force = 840

PracticeA boat is pulling a 54 kg wake boarder. She

accelerates at 2 m/s2. Calculate the force that is causing the acceleration.


Check Your AnswerA boat is pulling a 54 kg wake boarder. The

force the boat is exerting on her is 108 N. Calculate her acceleration.


Acceleration = force ÷ mass Acceleration = 108 ÷ 54 Acceleration = 2

The total of all forces acting on an object:

› Forces in the same direction are added. The object will move in the direction of

the force.

› Forces in opposite directions are subtracted. An object will move in the direction of
