ABSTRACT
Average total distance (m) speed = (m/s) time taken (s)
Average speed is speed over a
period of time
Instantaneous speed is speed at a given time
Negative Positive velocity velocity
d
Acceleration change in velocity (m/s) =
(m/s2) time taken (s)
Time over a known distance
Measuring speedTicker tape – 1 dot every 1/50th second
1/10 second
Constant speed – equally spaced
dots. Measure distance for 5 dots, time
second.
