PHYSICS: SPEED VS VELOCITY

OBJECTIVE

Describe the motion of an

object in terms of speed
or velocity.
 OBJECTIVE

Describe the motion of an

object in terms of speed
or velocity.
 SPEED
refers to how far an
object moves in a given
time interval.
Scalar quantity
Which do you think cover a greater distance in 5 second?
The car moving slower or car moving faster?
 SPEED

SI UNIT: meter per second(m/s)

km/h
mi/h
 EXAMPLE 1:
If the cyclist moves 30 km in 2h, its speed

is _____

d = 30 km

t =2h
s =30 km/ 2h
The cyclist's speed
s= ?
s = 15 km/hr
was 15 km/h
 EXAMPLE 2:

Ian went running at a distance

of 1`20m in 30s. What was

Ian's average speed?

 VELOCITY
is a vector quantity that

refers to "the rate at

which an object

changes its position."

VELOCITY
x i = 15m, E
xf = 40m, E
t= 3s
 EXIT TASK:
Dioscoro travels a distance of 40 km from

Manila to a town in Lagua(South) using his

car. What is the average speed of his car in

km/h if its traveling time is from 7: 00 A.M to

7:30 A.M?What is the average velocity?

 EXAMPLE 2:
The physics teacher walks 4 meters East, 2
meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2
meters North. The entire motion lasted for
24 seconds. Determine the average speed
and the average velocity.
