1. Understanding Speed and
Velocity

3.  determines
how FAST an
object is moving
 the distance traveled by an
object divided by the time
of the motion
 speed is represented by vs

4. speed (vs)= distance (d) ⁄time (t)
Speed is usually measured in
km/hr or m/sec

5.  tells
the speed of the object
and the direction it is
travelling
 it is represented by the
symbol v

6. velocity (v)= distance (d) ⁄time (t), direction
Velocity, like speed, is measured
in km/hr or m/sec together with
the direction
