Speed, Velocity and Acceleration
TEKS 8.6A demonstrate and calculate how unbalanced forces change the speed or direction of an object’s motion TEKS 8.6B differentiate between speed, velocity and acceleration
Motion is a change in position relative to another object. Uniform motion - constant speed in a straight line Accelerated motion – motion that is changing in speed or direction
How fast an object is moving is called speed.
Speed is how far something travels (distance) in a given amount of time.
The formula for finding speed is Speed= distance time
The unit for speed is meters or kilometers (distance) and seconds or hours (time).
It looks like this: m/sec or km/hr
Sometimes, it is important to know the speed and direction an object is traveling.
Velocity is the term used when referring to the speed and a direction.
So, you might say the car is traveling at 50 km/hr, north.
Vectors can be used to show the direction of an object’s motion.
Which of these shows and which 25 m/sec 67 m/sec south 90 km/sec 13 km/sec speed velocity?
Acceleration
When a force is applied to a moving object, the object can speed up, slow down, come to a stop or change direction.
When a force changes the speed, direction or both of an object, we are changing the velocity of the object.
A change in velocity is called acceleration.
This is the change in velocity over a given period of time.
The formula for acceleration is acceleration = velocity time
Acceleration is measured meters per second per second or m/sec 2
An object falling to earth is subject to a change in acceleration of 9.8 m/s 2 due to gravity.
Examples of acceleration are…. stepping on the brakes
pedaling your bicycle faster
dropping your lunch tray to the floor…
a dog chasing its tail
a roller coaster climbing to the top of a hill.
