Calculation Science
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A squirrel climbing a tree at a rate of 2 m/s | Both |
| A skater is halfway down a ramp, moving at 8 mph | Kinetic Energy |
| A bird is flying at a velocity of 8 m/s | Both |
| What’s the difference between speed and velocity | speed- how fast something is going velocity- speed with direction |
| Units for Speed | km/hr; m/s |
| Units for Velocity | km/hour SOUTH or m/s EAST |
| how to calculate speed | S = D/T |
| Acceleration | is how quickly an object changes its VELOCITY |
| Deceleration | is how quickly an object is decreasing its speed |
| CALCULATE Acceleration | velocity divided by time time |
| CALCULATE Distance | velocity times time |
| CALCULATE Velocity | distance divided by time |
| CALCULATE Time | distance divided by velocity |
| examples of acceleration | Speeding up, changing direction |
| examples of deceleration | Slowing down |
| When you CHANGE DIRECTIONS you are actually accelerating. Why? | acceleration happens whenever your VELOCITY changes. |
