3rd SW #5 Calculating Speed
What is the formula to calculate speed?Look in your journal.
S=t÷d
S=d÷t
S=d•t
S=t•d
What is speed? Look in your journal.
how far you go
how much distance is covered over a period of time
 how fast you accelerate
the change in the locationf of an object
What is acceleration?
the quickness of an object
 the location of an object
change in an object's motion (position, direction,
speed) caused by unbalanced forces.
speed in a specific direction
A runner races in the 100 meter dash. It takes her 10 
seconds to finish. What is her average speed?
10 m/s
 1000 m/s
100 km/s
10mph
Total distance divided by total time is:
 constant speed
sudden speed
average speed
fast speed
What is the speed of an object that travels 60 meters in 4 seconds? No guessing. Solve and check the units.
0.067 m/s
15 m/s
 240 km/h
15 mph
What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed? Look in your journal.
 mass and time
temperature and mass
mass and distance
distance and time
A runner's times for each section of a 400-meter race are shown:
Which best describes the runner's motion over the courseof the 400-meter race? Think carefully before you answer........
the runner's speed stayed the same
the runner's speed increased
The runner's speed decreased
the runner's direction stayed the same
Section               Time
1st  100 m          11 seconds
2nd 100 m          13 seconds
3rd  100 m          14 seconds
4th  100 m          14.5 seconds

An unusually fast zombie was chasing after Billy-Bob to
eat him. What was the zombie's average speed after 
6 seconds if he traveled 36 meters?
 6 meters per second
6 seconds per meter
0.17 meters per second
None of the above
Soccer ball "A" goes 15 feet in 3 seconds and soccer ball  "B" goes 12 feet in 2 seconds.Which ball moved he fastest? 
Soccer Ball "A"
Soccer Ball "B"
Their speeds are equal
Which of the following is a unit of speed?
km
 km/hr
hr
s
Which of the following is a unit of time?
 km/hr
km
hr
mi
Find speed when distance is 142 km and the timeis 2 hours. If needed, use scrap paper to solve.
17 km/hr
 90 km/hr
52 km/hr
71 km/hr
Sally runs 100 meters in 20 seconds. What was her
average speed?
 5 s/m
5 m/s
5 km/s
5 m
What is the method to solve for time? Look in your journal at the calculation triangle.
time = speed ÷ distance
time = distance ÷ speed
time = speed x distance
 time = distance x speed
