  1. Distance, Speed and Time Speed = distance (in meters) time (in seconds) D S T • Dave walks 200 meters in 40 seconds. What is his speed? • Laura covers 2km in 1,000 seconds. What is her speed? • How long would it take to run 100 meters if you run at 10m/s? • Steve travels at 50m/s for 20s. How far does he go? • Susan drives her car at 85mph (about 40m/s). How long does it take her to drive 20km?

  2. Distance-time graphs • 2) Horizontal line = • 4) Diagonal line downwards = • Diagonal line = • 3) Steeper diagonal line = 40 30 20 10 0 Distance (meters) Time/s 20 40 60 80 100

  3. 40 30 20 10 0 Distance (meters) Time/s 20 40 60 80 100 • What is the speed during the first 20 seconds? • How far is the object from the start after 60 seconds? • What is the speed during the last 40 seconds? • When was the object travelling the fastest?

  4. Speed vs. Velocity This car is travelling at a speed of 20m/s This car is travelling at a velocity of 20m/s east Speed is simply how fast you are travelling… Velocity is “speed in a given direction”…

  5. Acceleration V-U Acceleration = change in velocity (in m/s) (in m/s2) time taken (in s) A T • A cyclist accelerates from 0 to 10m/s in 5 seconds. What is her acceleration? • A ball is dropped and accelerates downwards at a rate of 10m/s2 for 12 seconds. How much will the ball’s velocity increase by? • A car accelerates from 10 to 20m/s with an acceleration of 2m/s2. How long did this take? • A rocket accelerates from 1,000m/s to 5,000m/s in 2 seconds. What is its acceleration?

  6. Velocity-time graphs • 1) Upwards line = • 4) Downward line = • 2) Horizontal line = • 3) Upwards line = 80 60 40 20 0 Velocity m/s T/s 10 20 30 40 50

  7. 80 60 40 20 0 Velocity m/s T/s 10 20 30 40 50 • How fast was the object going after 10 seconds? • What is the acceleration from 20 to 30 seconds? • What was the deceleration from 30 to 50s? • How far did the object travel altogether?
