Presentation Transcript

  1. Distance, Speed, and Velocity Laura LeMay

  2. Distance numerical description of how far apart objects are from each other

  3. SPEED *Rate at which object moves *most commonly measured by meters per second.

  4. Constant speed moving object continues to move in the same direction, with the same speed

  5. Variable Speed motion not running at particular speed (vari=change)

  6. Velocity The speed and direction of moving object *2 ways: change in magnitude and/or a change in direction

  7. Direction path that something takes

  8. Position location relative to a reference point

  9. acceleration rate the direction or speed changes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5Gl2LLLAGo

  10. Motion Graphs • Used to Better understand the motion of objects

  11. Motion graph worksheet Practice, practice, practice
