Stupendous Speed
The standard (SI) unit for speed
What is the meter per second OR m/s?
velocity has it but speed doesn't
What is direction?
The formula for speed
What is speed=distance/time or S=d/t?
Shown by the slope of a position vs time graph
What is velocity of an object?
The number of meters in a kilometer.
What is 1000?
The speed of an object moving east for 6 seconds at 105.3 m/s
What is 105.3 m/s?
The velocity of an object that is moving 6 meters in 2 seconds east
What is 3 m/s east?
The formula for velocity
What is velocity=displacement/time OR v=Δx/t?
Indicated by a negative slope in a position vs time graph
What is moving backwards?
Multiply by these three fractions to turn km/hr into m/s
What is (1000m/1km)(1hr/60min)(1min/60s)?
The average speed of a cow that walks east 60 meters in 90 seconds
What is .7 m/s?
The velocity of the following object Distance = 20 meters Time = 4 minutes Direction = south
What is 5 m/s south?
The distance an object travelled moving at a constant speed.
What is distance=speed x time OR d=St?
On a position vs time graph this is shown as a straight line with a positive slope
What is moving forward at a constant speed?
The process of setting up a unit conversion.
What is dimensional analysis?
The distance moved by a porcupine toward a pond at a speed of 5 m/s in 8 seconds
What is 40 meters?
The velocity of an object traveling 25 meters in 2 seconds east
What is 12.5 m/s east?
The time is takes to move a certain distance at constant velocity
time=displacement/velocity OR t=Δx/v
This is shown as a horizontal line in a position time graph.
What is an object at rest (stopped/no movement)?
The speed of a car traveling 60.00 mph in m/s if
1 mile=1609 meters
What is 26.82 m/s ?
A stopwatch and a meterstick will help you find an average, but you might need a Cops's radar detector to find this.
What is Instantaneous Velocity/Speed?
The time a pink alien took to move its spacecraft 2 km south at a rate of 20 m/s
100s
The time it takes two people moving towards each other at different velocities to meet when they are a certain distance apart
What is t=d/(v1+v2)?
Shown as a horizontal line on a velocity time graph
What is is traveling at a constant velocity?
A snail traveled 12 cm in 8 minutes, multiplying this series of 4 fractions will give you its speed in miles per hour.
1 mile = 1609 meters
What is (12cm/8min)(1m/100cm)(1mile/1609m)(60min/1hr)?
