Measuring motion
Measuring Distance
1 mm
= 50 m
Calculating Speed
S = d/t
Units for speed
I travelled 25 km in 10 minutes.
How many meters have I travelled?
A) 25000 m
B) .0112 m
C) .025 m
D) 2.5 m
25 km * 1000m/km = 25000 m
Question
I ran 1000 m in 3 minutes. Then
ran another 1000 m uphill in 7
minutes. What is my average
speed?
A) 100
TotalDist. m/min
= 1000 m + 1000 m = 2000 m
B) 2000 m/min
TotalTime
C) 10=m/min
3 min + 7 min = 10 min
D) 200 m/min
Ave speed = total dist/total time =
E) 20 m/min
Example:
An airplane moving North at 500 mph
A missile moving towards you at 200 m/s

Acceleration = speeding up
Change in direction
Types of acceleration
Increasing speed
Example: Car speeds up at green light
Changing Direction
Example: Car takes turn (can be at
constant speed)
Question
If it is changing directions it is
accelerating
Calculating Acceleration
If an object is moving in a straight line

The black and red lines represent
Time (s) a objects that are
accelerating. Black is going a greater distance each second, so
it must be speeding up. Red is going less each second, so
must1)Which

Remember: in distance vs. time graphs:
curved line = accelerating, flat line = constant speed
