Conclusions: What must be changing in order for an object to be classified as being “in motion”?
- Describing and Measuring Motion Calculating Speed If you know the distance an object travels in a certain amount of time, you can calculate the speed of the object. Speed = distance ÷ time
Calculate the speed of each animal after one minute (60 sec.) has elapsed. RabbitSpeed = D/T Speed = 1000m / 60sec Speed is _______ TortoiseSpeed = D/T Speed = ______m / 60sec Speed is _______ CheetahSpeed = D/T Speed = ______m / ____sec Speed is _______ m/s 0.07 m/s m/s
