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

 mass and time
temperature and mass
mass and distance
distance and time

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
