WHAT IS SPEED?

•SPEED IS THE DISTANCE TRAVELED BY AN OBJECT PER

UNIT TIME
•DENOTED BY FORMULA
𝑑
𝑠=
𝑡
WHAT IS VELOCITY
•VELOCITY IS THE DISPLACEMENT OF AN OBJECT PER UNIT
TIME
•DENOTED BY THE FORMULA
՜
𝑑
𝑣=
𝑡
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPEED
AND VELOCITY?
Speed Velocity
Measurement/magnitude Yes Yes
Direction No Yes
SI unit m/s m/s
•SUPPOSE JASON WALKS FROM HOME TO SCHOOL. FIRST HE
HEADS 70 M NORTH FROM HIS HOUSE TO THE MAIN ROAD.
NEXT, HE FOLLOWS THE MAIN ROAD AND WALKS 350 M TO THE
EAST. BUT HE RECALLED THAT HE HAD TO BUY SOMETHING, SO
HE TURNED BACK AND WALKED 50 M TO THE WEST AND
STOPPED TO BUY. THEN, HE HEADED NORTH AND WALKED 40
M, BEFORE FINALLY TURNING EAST AND WALKING 60 M TO
REACH SCHOOL. HE DID THIS, ALL IN 10 MINUTES.
•WHAT WAS JASON’S AVERAGE SPEED?

•HOW ABOUT HIS AVERAGE VELOCITY?

TYPES OF SPEED/VELOCITY
•AVERAGE SPEED/VELOCITY
•INSTANTANEOUS SPEED/VELOCITY
•CONSTANT SPEED/VELOCITY
AVERAGE SPEED/VELOCITY

•REPRESENTS THE SPEED/VELOCITY OF AN OBJECT

THROUGH TRAVEL.
INSTANTANEOUS
SPEED/VELOCITY
•REFERS TO THE SPEED/VELOCITY OF AN OBJECT AT A
GIVEN INSTANT
CONSTANT SPEED/VELOCITY
•IF THE SPEED/VELOCITY OF AN OBJECT IS THE SAME
THROUGHOUT THE TRAVEL, THEN IT CAN BE REFERRED TO
AS CONSTANT SPEED.
WHAT IS ACCELERATION?
•ACCELERATION IS THE CHANGE OF VELOCITY OVER A UNIT
TIME.
•DENOTED BY FORMULA
∆𝑣
𝑎=
∆𝑡
TYPES OF ACCELERATION
•POSITIVE ACCELERATION
•NEGATIVE ACCELERATION
•ZERO ACCELERATION
POSITIVE ACCELERATION

•THE OBJECT’S VELOCITY INCREASES

NEGATIVE ACCELERATION

•THE OBJECT’S VELOCITY DECREASES

ZERO ACCELERATION

•THE OBJECT’S VELOCITY IS CONSTANT

• SUPPOSE JASON RODE A CAR TO TRAVEL TO A MEETING.
THE CAR TRAVELED 2 M AFTER 1 S, 5 M AFTER 2 S, 10 M
AFTER 3 S, 18 M AFTER 4 S, 28 M AFTER 5 S, 40 M AFTER 6
S, 55 M AFTER 7 S, AND 72 M AFTER 8 S. FIND THE AVERAGE
ACCELERATION OF THE CAR FOR THE ENTIRE TIME
ELAPSED.
PROBLEM NO. 1
•A CAR LEFT TUGUEGARAO CITY AT 4:30 A.M. AND REACHED
LAOAG CITY AT 11:00 A.M. IF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN
TUGUEGARAO CITY AND LAOAG CITY IS 304 KILOMETERS,
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SPEED (IN KM/H) OF THE CAR?
PROBLEM NO. 2
•A BIKER TRAVELS 20 M TO THE NORTH BEFORE TURNING
EAST AND TRAVELING 50 M. FINALLY HE TRAVELED 30 M
TO THE SOUTH BEFORE HAVING A STOP TO DRINK. ALL OF
THIS THE BIKER DID IN 20 S. FIND THE AVERAGE VELOCITY
OF THE BIKER.
PROBLEM NO. 3
•FIND THE AVERAGE ACCELERATION OF A CAR IF IT WAS
TRAVELING AT 20 M/S 5 S AFTER START-UP AND IT WAS
TRAVELING AT 40 M/S AFTER 10 S. ASSUME THAT THE CAR
TRAVELS IN ONLY ONE DIRECTION.
ASSIGNMENT
•RESEARCH ABOUT THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS CAR RACING
COMPETITIONS OF 2018. INDICATE THE LENGTH OF THE
RACE, LIST DOWN THE WINNING CARS AND THE TIME
ELAPSED IN FINISHING THE RACE.
•READ ABOUT WAVES
•GUIDE QUESTIONS:
•1. WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF A WAVE?
•2. WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF WAVES?
•3. HOW ARE WAVES CREATED?
