object Scalar quantity DISPLACEMENT is the length of path travelled in a particular direction Vector quantity 3 mi North 4 mi East Displacement 5 mi Northeast Distance 7 mi SPEED Is the rate of change of distance scalar quantity speed = total distance travelled, s(m) total time taken, t(s) SI Unit m/s
Velocity is the rate of change of displacement vector quantity velocity = total displacement, s(m) total time taken, t(s) SI Unit = m/s Average Velocity Average velocity is the total displacement traveled divided by the time interval during which the displacement occurred.
Questions 1.While on vacation, Lisa Carr traveled a total distance of 440 miles. Her trip took 8 hours. What was her average speed? Ave speed = distance traveled time of travel
Ave speed = 440 mi 8 h Ave speed = 55 mi / h
2. What is the velocity of a car that travels 100.0 meters, in 4.65 seconds? Looking for Velocity of the car. Given Distance = 100.0 meters Time travel = 4.65 seconds Relationship
Is the rate of change of velocity acceleration, a = final velocity- initIal velocity time taken a = v u t where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity A motorcycle starts at rest and accelerates to 80 m/s in 20 seconds. What is the acceleration?
positive acceleration
a=(V f -V i )/t = (80 m/s 0 m/s) / 20s
a= 4 m/s 2 A skateboarder moves in a straight line at 3 m/s and comes to a stop in 2 s?? What is the deceleration??
