Speed:the distance an object travels per unit of time
Speed:the distance an object travels per unit of time
Speed = distance / time
Average speed = total distance / total time
Solve: A whitetail deer runs 33 meters in 3 seconds.What is its speed?

VelocityVelocity This occurs when you know both
the speed and direction of an object’s motion.
In other words: Speed in a given direction.
Example 25 km/h East

AccelerationAcceleration The change in velocity/speed per unit of
time Three conditions: Increase in speed
Decrease in speed Change in direction
The change in velocity/speed per unit of time
Three conditions: Increase in speed
Decrease in speed Change in direction
Formula: Final speed – Initial speed / Time
AccelerationAcceleration
Units of MeasurementUnits of Measurement
Time - s or hr Distance -cm, m, km Speed - m/s, km/hr Velocity - m/s North, Acceleration - m/s2, km/hr2
Time - s or hr Distance -cm, m, km Speed - m/s, km/hr Velocity - m/s North, Acceleration - m/s2, km/hr2
