Motion Basics

What is speed?

• how far you go

• distance traveled per unit of time

• how fast you accelerate

• the change in the location of a object

• 10 mi

• 7 mi

• 8 mi

• 6 mi

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object

• the location of an object

• the difference between start and end points

• displacement of an object per unit of time
