Distance, Speed and Time D

Speed = distance (in metres)

time (in seconds) S T
1) Matilda walks 2000m in 50 minutes. What is her speed in 0.67m/s
m/s?

2) James tries to walk the same distance at a speed of 5m/s. 400s

How long does he take?

3) Greg drives at 60mph (about 100km/h) for 3 hours. How

far has he gone?
300km

4) The speed of sound in air is 330m/s. Evie shouts at a

mountain and hears the echo 3 seconds. How far did her 990m
voice travel? later. How far away is the mountain?

Objectives.

• Describe motion time graphs.

• Use speed and acceleration equations to determine information from motion and
velocity graphs.

Moving from one to another

• We can get acceleration from the velocity vs. time graph by calculating the slop of the
line.
• We can also get the displacement by calculating the area under the graph
