Velocity is both speed and ________________________ . Like speed, velocity may – ______________ Unlike speed, the velocity can change while the speed stays _______________________. (because velocity includes both speed and direction, if either value changes, velocity will change) Formula for velocity - v = ___________________ Terminal velocity the highest velocity that will be reached by a – _________________________________ Magic Triangle with units --------------------------------------------------- Both are calculated by dividing distance by time. Velocity = distance/time speed= distance/time Velocity had a direction, speed does not. UNITS of speed and velocity is meter/second or kilometer/hour Examples 1. A runner ran 400 meters for 40 seconds. At what speed did he run? Given Equation Solve 2. What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 150 m in 25 s? Given Equation Solve 3. A runner traveling at 4.25 m/s will travel how far in 23 s? Given Equation 4. How long will it take a runner 4.25 m/s to travel 50.0 meters? Given Equation Solve
