    Speed and Velocity

    Speed is the rate at which an object moves, measured in distance over time. It is a scalar quantity that does not take direction into account. Velocity is speed with direction and is a vector quantity. Speed can be measured in units like miles per hour or meters per second. A speedometer measures the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. At constant time, greater distance traveled means greater speed, and at constant distance, less time of travel means greater speed.

    REVIEW
     Differentiate distance and
    displacement.
    1.Are you familiar with the traffic
    signs?
    2.Generally, what are the minimum
    and maximum speed limits in the
    Philippines?
    3.What are the units used in the
    examples of speed limits?
    4.What quantities do these units
    represent that are related to
    Speed
     Speed (s) – Rate at which an object is
    moving.
     speed = distance / time
     s = d/t
     The units of speed can be miles per hour
    (mi/h), kilometres per hour (km/h), or
     meters per second (m/s).
     Like distance, speed does not depend on
    direction.
    Speed is related to the time of travel.
    The lesser the time of travel, the
    greater the speed of travel.

    Speed is related to the distance


    travelled.
    The greater the distance
    travelled, the greater the speed of
    travel.
    SPEEDOMETER
     isa device used to measure the
    instantaneous speed of a
    vehicle.
    Scalar and Vector Quantities
     Scalar Quantity – has magnitude but
    not direction.
     Distance and speed are scalar
    quantities.
     Vector Quantity – has magnitude
    and direction.
     Displacement and velocity are vector
    quantities.
    d d= s x t
    s t s= d / t
    t= d / s

    100 m

     What is the car’s average speed?


     s = d/t
     s = (100 m) / (5 s) = 20 m/s
    Speed
     A rocket is traveling at 10 km/s. How long does it
    take the rocket to travel 30 km?
    Speed
     A racecar is traveling at 85.0 m/s. How far
    does the car travel in 30.0 s?
    ACTIVITY 4:
    “FUN WALK”
    1.What quantities did you
    measure for your data?
    2.What formula is used to
    determine your speed?
    3.What units can be used for
    speed?
    4.At constant distance how is
    speed related to the time of
    travel.
    5.At constant time of travel, how is
    speed related to the distance travel?
    6.Who was travelling faster than the
    other, a person who covered 10 m in 5
    s or the one who took 10s to cover 20
    m?
    7.If you will consider the direction to
    where you are going together with your
    speed, you now have both magnitude
    and direction what is this quantity?
    8.Is there any difference between
    speed and velocity? What are those?
    9.Is there any device that can
    measure the speed of an object at
    instant? What is this device?
    10.How do we call the speed
    measured by speedometer?
    11.Is this speed constant? Why or
    why not?
    Velocity
     Velocity (v) – speed with direction.
     velocity = displacement / time
    v=d/t
