Speed:

Distance per unit time.

Speed= Distance/ Time
Unit: km/h OR
m/s
 Find speed when, distance is 142 km and
time is 2 hours.
 Aaron ran 500 metres in 100 Seconds. Find
the speed.
 Find out the distance covered when, speed is
960 km/hour and time is 2hr.
km/h to m/s :
Multiply by 5/18.
m/s to km/h:
Multiply by 18/5.
 Km = 1000 m
h 60 x 60 s
5
= 10 m
3 6 x 6 s

= 5 / 18
Q1. Convert:
a) 72 km/h to m/s
b) 25 m/s to km/h
c) 108km/h to m/s
d) 50m/s to km/h
 36 4 5
18
 Answers : 9 1
a) 20 m /s
b) 90 km /h
c) 30 m/s
d) 180 km / h
 Convert 20 m/sec into km/hr
 Convert 36 m/sec into km/hr
 Convert 126 km / h into m/ s
 Convert 144 km /h into m/s
 Convert m / s to km / h
 70 m / s to km / h
 40 m / s to km / h
 25 m / s to km / h
 50 m / s to km / h
 35 m / s to km / h
 Convert km/h to m/s :
 80
 60
  70m/s to km/h:
14
= 70 x 18
51
= 14 x 18
= 252 km /h
Convert km/h to m/s :
80 x 5
40
18 9
= 40 x 5 = 200/9 = 22.22 m/s

The distance travelled by an
object over a period of time
can be plotted on a graph is
called a distance/time graph.
The distance is taken on the
vertical axis and time is
taken on the horizontal axis.

 Time is increasing to the right, but its
distance does not change. It is stationary.
 By definition, speed = distance / time
 Yellow: speed = distance / time = 30 m / 10 s = 3m/s
 Blue: speed = distance / time = 20 m / 20 s = 1 m/s
Stage 1: speed = distance / time = 100 m / 10 s
= 10 m/s
 Stage 2: speed = distance / time = 50 m / 10 s
 = 5m/s
 Stage 3: speed = distance / time = -150 m / 20 s
= - 7. 5 m/s
 1. How far the car travelled in the first 4 seconds ?
 ANS : 300 m
2. What is the speed of the
car in each of the interval:
a) Point A

SPEED = DISTANCE

TIME
= 300 / 4
= 75 m /s .
 b) Point B
SPEED = DISTANCE

TIME
=0
 POINT C
SPEED = DISTANCE

TIME

= -100/4
300
= -25 m/s

The speed is decreasing

 3. What might have happened to the car in the
interval B?
 The car

stopped moving.
20cm



The car is not

moving between
3s to 6s
