SPEED DISTANCE TIME

1. Science 5-Q3 Week 1
Describe the motion of an object by tracing and
measuring its change in position (distance
travelled) over a period of time (S5FE-IIIa-1).

3. Arrange the jumbled letters in each
item. The descriptions opposite to
the jumbled letters will help you
come up with the correct word.

4. It refers to force that pulls
object to the center of the
Earth.

5. It refers to the change in
position or location of an
object

6. It refers to how far one thing
is from another thing.

9. How Fast Is the World’s Fastest Human?

10. Let’s Read
In 2009 Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt set the world record in
the 100-meter sprint at 9.58 seconds. Bolt’s speed during his
world-record run was 10.44 meters per second. That’s faster
than the estimated average traffic speed for the U.S. cities of
Boston, New York City, and San Francisco. Even more
astounding is the fact that Bolt started from a speed of zero
and then had to accelerate, which means that his top speed
actually was faster.

11.  Motion is defined as the movement of an
object. It is the change in an object’s position.
 An object is said to be moving when it is
travelling toward or away from the reference.
 Speed is how fast an object moves

12. We can calculate the speed by dividing the
distance over a period of time.

13. Using the speed formula calculate the speed of a
person in kilometers per hour if the distance he
travels is 40 kilometers in 2 hours?
Solution:
The formula for speed = Distance ÷ Time or S=D/T]
Distance = 40 kilometers
Time = 2 hours
Speed = (40 ÷ 2) km/hr
= 20 kilometers per hour

14. A car travels a distance of 240 km in 4 hours.
What is the speed of the car?
Given: distance = 240 km time = 4 hours
Unknown: speed= ? Formula: 𝑠 = 𝑑/𝑡
Solution: 𝑠 = 240 𝑘𝑚 ÷ 4 ℎ
s = 60 kph

15. Calculate the speed for a car
that went a distance of 125
kilometers in 2 hours time.

16. 2. A baseball is thrown a
distance of 20 meters. What is
its speed if it takes 5 seconds to
cover the distance?

17. We can calculate distance by this formula:

18. Dahlia runs at an average speed of 8 kph. If she runs for
6.5 hours, how far does she travel?
Given: speed = 8 kph
time = 6.5 h
Unknown: distance = ?
Formula: d= s x t

19. A comet is cruising through the solar
system at a speed of 50 kilometers per
hour for 4 hours time. What is the total
distance traveled by the comet during
this time?

20. We can calculate time by using this formula:

21. A boy walks at a speed of 4 kmph. How much time does he
take to walk a distance of 20 km?
Given: speed = 4 kmph
distance = 20km
Unknown: time = ?
Formula: t= d ÷ s
Time = Distance / speed = 20/4 = 5 hours.

22. How much time does it take for a
bird flying at a speed of 45
kilometers per hour to travel a
distance of 1,800 kilometers?

23. How much time does it take for a
bird flying at a speed of 45
kilometers per hour to travel a
distance of 1,800 kilometers?

24. Sarah backstrokes at an average
speed of 8 meters per second, how
long will it take her to complete the
race of 200 meters length?

25. Velocity is speed with direction. It measures the
displacement made by a moving body in a given
length of time. Displacement is the shortest
distance between the starting point and terminal
point. Displacement is the distance in a given
direction.

26. We can calculate velocity with this formula

27. Mila walked 150 m east from home to the store in 100
seconds. What is her velocity?
Given: Displacement = 150 m east
time = 100 seconds
Unknown: velocity = ?
Formula: 𝑣 = 𝑑 / t
= 150m east ÷ 100 seconds
=1.5 m/s east
