DISTANCE

is the length of path travelled of an


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
