True or False: To describe velocity, you must include the direction of the object's motion.
True! Velocity always includes both speed and direction.
A runner travels 30 meters at a speed of 5 m/s. How long did the runner run for?
Is this a SPEED or VELOCITY problem? Then solve.
Speed problem; Time = 6 seconds
Draw a graph based on this scenario: Fahad left home to walk to the bus stop at a constant speed, Fahad stopped at Alex's to pick him up on the way to the bus stop. Alex and Fahad realized they were about to miss the bus so they slowly began to walk faster. They were still far away and saw the bus coming so they ran at a fast and constant speed to get to the bus stop in time.
slow, less steep line (constant walking)
horizontal line (no movement)
curved line, speeding up (speed is changing)
fast, steep line (constant running)
