VELOCITY

GRADE 7- 3 Quarter
rd
 Objective/s:
• Differentiate speed from
velocity
• Compute for velocity of
moving objects
 IDENTIFY THE QUANTITIES IN THESE
ITEMS.

1. 50 Km = distance
2. 40 Kph = speed
3. 2 hours = time
4. 100 m/s, north = velocity
5. 2,300 m/s = speed
 Are their distance the same?
Are their displacement the same?
How about their speed?
How about their velocity?
 What is the difference between speed
and velocity?
SPEED VELOCITY

d d , direction
t t
Rate at which an object Speed in a given
moves direction
Scalar quantity Vector quantity
The velocity of an object will change if…
• It speeds up
• It slows down
• It changes direction
 Knowing the difference
between speed and velocity,
why do most people live their Think about it!
life in speed but without
direction?

 Karen drives to the city to pick up a
friend. She went 280 Km, east in about 9.6
hrs. Calculate her velocity.
Given: dis. = 280 Km, east Find: v = ?
t = 9.6 hr
Soln.
v = dis. = 280 Km, East= 29.17 Km/hr, East
t 9.6 hr
1. Kylie was on a trek going to the North
camp site. She walked 0.39 Km and has
a velocity of 1.3 Km/hr, N. How long did
the journey take?

2. A bicycle is running at a velocity of 6.3

m/s going southwest. If it took 1 minute
and 55 seconds to travel, what will be its
displacement?

1 hour back toward the East. What is the
man’s average speed? What is the man’s
average velocity?

Given: d = 7km+ 2km= 9 km
t = 3 hr Find: Save = ?

Soln.
Save = total d. = 9 Km = 3 Km/hr

 A car is moving north at a velocity of
30m/s and then speeded up to 60 m/s. What
is the car’s average velocity?

Given: v1 = 30 m/s Find: vave = ?

v2 = 60 m/s
Soln.
vave = v1 + v2 = 30m/s + 60m/s = 45 m/s, North

 A car travels 78 Km/hr from Laguna to
Manila when suddenly it turns back and travel
at the same speed. What is the ave. speed and
ave. velocity of the car?
AVERAGE SPEED
Given: S1 = 78 Km/hr Find: s ave
S2 = 78 Km/hr
Soln.
Save = S1 + S2 = 78 Km/hr + 78 Km/hr = 78 Km/hr

1. A sailboat is traveling north at 10 km/h,
relative to the water. The water is flowing
north at 5 km/h. What is the velocity of the
boat relative to ground?

2. A woman is running at 4 km/h along the

shore in the opposite direction to the water's
flow. What is the velocity of the sailboat
relative to the woman?
PRACTICE
3. A plane needs to reach a velocity of 300
km/h relative to the air in order to take off. If
there is a wind blowing at 80 km/h in the
direction opposite to take off, what velocity
must the plane reach relative to ground in
order to take off?
