Speed and Acceleration
Measuring motion
![Page 2: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Measuring Distance
Meter – international unit for measuring distance.
= 50 m 1 mm
![Page 3: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Calculating Speed
Speed (S) = distance traveled (d) / the amount of time it took (t).
S = d/t
![Page 4: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Units for speed
Depends, but will always be a distance unit / a time unit
Ex. Cars: mi./h
Jets: km/h
Snails: cm/s
Falling objects: m/s
![Page 5: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Calculating speed
If I travel 100 kilometer in one hour then I have a speed of…
100 km/h
If I travel 1 meter in 1 second then I have a speed of….
1 m/s
S = d/t
![Page 6: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Average speed
Speed is usually NOT CONSTANT
Ex. Cars stop and go regularly
Runners go slower uphill than downhill
Average speed = total distance traveled/total time it took.
![Page 7: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Calculating Average Speed
It took me 1 hour to go 40 km on the highway. Then it took me 2 more hours to go 20 km using the streets.
Total Distance:
40 km + 20 km = 60 km
Total Time:
1 h + 2 h = 3 hr
Ave. Speed:
total d/total t = 60 km/3 h = 20 km/h

Question
I travelled 25 km in 10 minutes. How many meters have I travelled?
A) 25000 m
B) .0112 m
C) .025 m
D) 2.5 m
25 km * 1000m/km = 25000 m
![Page 9: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Question
I ran 1000 m in 3 minutes. Then ran another 1000 m uphill in 7 minutes. What is my average speed? A) 100 m/min
B) 2000 m/min
C) 10 m/min
D) 200 m/min
E) 20 m/min
Total Dist. = 1000 m + 1000 m = 2000 m Total Time = 3 min + 7 min = 10 min Ave speed = total dist/total time = 2000m/10 min = 200 m/min = D

Velocity
Velocity – the SPEED and DIRECTION of an object.
Example:
An airplane moving North at 500 mph
A missile moving towards you at 200 m/s
![Page 11: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Question
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Speed is just distance/time. Velocity includes direction as well.

Acceleration
Acceleration = speeding up
Acceleration – the rate at which velocity changes
Can be an:
Increase in speed
Decrease in speed
Change in direction
![Page 21: Speed and Acceleration - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020622/61ebf3dfcb94d233006af341/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Types of acceleration
Increasing speed Example: Car speeds up at green light
Decreasing speed Example: Car slows down at stop light
Changing Direction Example: Car takes turn (can be at
constant speed)

Can use 2 kinds of graphs
Speed vs. time
Distance vs. time

1)On Distance vs. Time graphs a curved line means the object is accelerating.
2)Curved line also means your speed is increasing. Remember slope = speed.

Above is a graph showing the speed of a car over time. 1) How is the speed of the car changing (speeding up, Slowing down, or staying the same)? 2) What is this car’s acceleration?
1) The car is slowing down 2) Acceleration = rise/run = -6m/s ÷3s = -2 m/s2
Run = 3 s
Rise = -6 m/s

1)Which line represents an object that is accelerating?
The black and red lines represent a objects that are accelerating. Black is going a greater distance each second, so it must be speeding up. Red is going less each second, so must be slowing down
Remember: in distance vs. time graphs: curved line = accelerating, flat line = constant speed
