The Total distance an object travels divided by the total time it takes to travel that distance.
Average speed
Miles Per Hour is an example of what?
Speed
Tommy ran 3 M/S North is an example of what?
Velocity
The difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position.
Displacement
Km/S stands for What
Kilometers per Second
Cathryn ran 3 meters north and 7 meters south what is Cathryn's Distance?
10 Meters
The speed and the direction of a moving object.
Velocity
The difference between speed and velocity is that
speed tells how fast the object is moving while velocity tells how fast the object is moving in a particular direction
A person walks 12 Miles North then stops and walks 5 Miles south. What is the Displacement?
7 Miles
The process of changing position.
Motion
The distance between the two stations is 540 km. A train takes 3 hours to cover this distance. (remember your units!!!)
Double Jeopardy !!!!!!!!!!
180Km/H
Find the distance and displacement:
Ray runs 30 feet east, 30 feet west, and then 30 feet east.
Include direction
Distance: 90
Displacement: 30 ft. East
The starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object.
Reference point
Sunny is driving a car and covers 80 kilometers in 40 minutes. After Sunny observed some engine noise, he slowed the car and covered the next 70 kilometers in 60 minutes. Calculate the average speed of the vehicle.
1.5
Can displacement ever be greater than distance? Explain your answer.
No, displacement is always equal to or less than the distance
