Theme 2: On the Move

Speed and Velocity

Speed: The distance travelled per unit time

If a car travels with a constant speed of 10m/s, then 10 metres are made in

each second.

Physics symbols:

 Speed= v

 Distance = s

 Time = t
 Physical quantities

(it has only size) Scalars vectors (size and directions)

Mass (Speed) Forces (velocity)

2N

Some speed of 15km/hr

Velocity is changing 15km/hr but different direction
