Speed and Graphing

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• S = t/d
• S = d/t
• S = d x t
• S = t x d

A runner races in the 100 meter dash.  It takes her 10 seconds to finish.  What is her average speed?

• 10 m/s
• 1000 m/s
• 100 seconds
• 10 seconds

Which is correct?

• speed = distance x time
• speed = speed divided time
• speed = Distance divide time
• Speed = time x speed

What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?

• Mass and time
• Temperature and mass
• Mass and distance
• Distance and time

What is the speed of an object that travels 60 meters in 4 seconds?

• 240 m/s
• 15 m/s
• 0.067 m/s
• 15 mph

What is happening at D?

• Stationary
• Accelerating
• Fast steady speed; moving away from the starting position
• Slower steady speed; moving away from the starting position

What is happening at E?

• Stationary
• Accelerating
• Fast steady speed; moving away from the starting position
• Steady speed; returning to start position

What is happening at A?

• Stationary
• Accelerating
• Slower steady speed; moving away from the starting position
• Steady speed; returning to start position
