​Practice Calculating Speed🧠✔️!

By James Redington

Different units are used when measuring different quantities.

Measurements of distance are m, mi, ft, km, etc.

Measurements of time are min, hr, and s (or sec).

Measurements of Speed are m/s, mi/hr, ft/min, km/hr

(basically any combination of distance/time)

We are now going to practice with the 3 step method!

I. Write what you have and what you are looking for

II. Write the appropriate equation(s)

III. Plug in and solve. REMEMBER UNITS

Question 9

Haley the hummingbird can fly from a pansy flower to a hibiscus flower 20 meters away in 5 seconds. What is her speed?

Labelling

Step I: Identify the information given in the problem. Drag the information from the problem to the correct quantity; d (distance), t (time), or S (speed).

Drag labels to their correct position on the image

20 meters

5 seconds

? meters / second

Multiple Choice

Step II: Choose an equation that will correctly help us solve for SPEED.

• a = V/t

• F = m*a

• S = d/t

• S = d*t

Labelling

Step I: d = 20 meters

t = 5 seconds

S = ? m/s

Step II: Formula

S= d/t

Step III: Plug the numbers in and solve.

S = (20 m) / (5 s)

Drag labels to their correct position on the image

4 m/s

5 s

20 m

Multiple Choice

What should the answer and units be for the speed of Haley the Hummingbird?

• 4 s/m

• 4 m/s

• 100 s/m

• 100 m/s
