tell how fast you are going is what
speed
the speed of an object and its
direction of motion is what
volocity
acceleration = change in ______ / _______
speed/ time
speed = what / what
distance / time
how can velocity change
if the direction, speed, or both are changed
what symbol = change in
triangle
In order to tell how fast we were going during
the entire trip, we must find the average speed.
average speed= what / what
average speed is total distance traveled / total time traveled
speed describes _______ traveled changing with ________.
distance; time
acceleration = triangle _____ / _____
speed / time
? / ? / ?
distance / speed / time
what is the change in velocity divided by the time needed for the change to occur
acceleration
change in acceleration = _____ _____ - _______ _____
final speed - initial speed
If you want to know how fast you are traveling
at a given moment or instant of time, you
want the what
instantaneous speed.
direction of acceleration is depending on whether the object is _______ ___ or ________ ______.
speeding up; slowing down
what units do we use for acceleration
m/s, m/s 2, and s
