1 SPEED

2 Speed The speed of an object is the distance an object travels per unit of time

3 Calculating Speed To calculate speed, divide the distance the object travels by the amount of time it took to travel that distance Speed= Distance Time

4 Measuring Distance Distance – how far something is Meter – international unit for measuring distance. = 50 m 1 mm

5 Measuring Time Time – how long something took Seconds – international unit for measuring time.

6 Calculating the other missing parts for Speed d t S Speed = distance time unit = m/sunit = km/h

7 Calculating the other missing parts for Speed d t S time = Speed unit = hrunit = min unit = sec distance

8 Calculating the other missing parts for Speed d t S distance = Speed unit = cm unit = m time unit = km ) ) ((

9 Abbreviations d- distance t- time s- speed

10 How to use the Triangle

11 Calculating Speed If I travel 100 kilometer in one hour then I have a speed of… 100 km/h d t S S = d t d = 100 kilometer t = 1 hour S = ? S = dtdt 100 kilometer 1 hour = 100 kilometer hour =

12 Calculating Speed If I travel 1 meter in 1 second then I have a speed of…. 1 m/s d t S S = d t d = 1 meter t = 1 second S = ? S = dtdt 1 meter 1 second = 1 meter second =

13 Calculating Speed If I walked 26 kilometer in 2 hours then I have a speed of… 13 km/h If a toy car rolls 45 meters in 9 seconds then the toy car has a speed of…. 5 m/s d t S S = d t

14 Calculating Speed If my dog jumps 3 meters in 2 seconds then my dog has a speed of… 1.5 m/s or 3/2 m/s If a meteor falls to Earth 1,000,000 kilometers in 10 seconds then the meteor has a speed of…. 100,000 km/s d t S S = d t

15 Calculating Speed If my dog runs 3 meters in 9 seconds then my dog has a speed of… 0.3 m/s or 1/3 m/s If Mrs. G chases Mr. G and travels 25 meters in 5 seconds then Mrs. G has a speed of…. 5 m/s d t S S = d t

16 Calculating Speed If my cat runs 12 meters in 4 seconds then my cat’s has a speed of… 3m/s If Mrs. G chases Mr. G with an axe and travels 300 meters in 5 seconds then Mrs. G has a speed of…. 60 m/s d t S S = d t

17 Calculating Speed MegaMind drove his invisible car for 5 hours in a distance of 30 kilometers. What was his average speed? 6km/h MetroMan flew for 60 seconds over a distance of 3 kilometers. What was his speed? 1/20 km/s or 0.05 km/s d t S S = d t

18 Calculating Speed Minion tries to skip for 40 seconds over 30 meters. What was Minion’s skipping speed? ¾ m/s or 0.75 m/s MetroMan threw a rock at MegaMind at 40 meters for a time of 30 seconds. What was the rocks speed? 4/3 m/s or 1.33 m/s d t S S = d t
