Average speedAverage 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.
Calculating Average Speed 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
QuestionQuestion• 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
VelocityVelocity
• 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
