| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the formula to work out speed? | Speed=distance/time |
| What is the formula to work out distance? | Distance=speed x time |
| What is the formula to work out time? | Time=distance/speed |
| What is the unit for “how far”? | metres (m) or km or miles |
| What is the unit for “how long”? | seconds(s), minutes(min), or hours(h) |
| What is the unit for “how fast”? | metres per seconds(m/s) or miles per hour(mph) |
| A train travels 70 miles in 2 hours. What is its speed? | speed=distance/time=70miles/2hours=35miles per hour (mph) did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A car travels 10 miles in 20mins. What is its speed? | Every 20mins the car travels 10miles; so 20 miles in 40mins; 30 miles in 60mins (mph) did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A bike travels 3km in 15mins. What is its speed? | Every 15mins the bike travels 3km; so 6km in 30mins; 12km in 60mins (km/h) did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A bike travels 60km in 2h. What is its speed? | speed=distance/time=60km/2hours=30km/h did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A bike travels 14.4km in 1h. What is its speed in METRES PER SECONDS? | Convert km into m so 14.4km=14,400m and 1h=60mins=3600sec then speed=distance/time=14.400m/3600s=4m/s did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A woman runs at a speed of 8m/s. How far can she run in 100s? | distance = speed x time = 8 x 100 = 800m did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A bullet travels at 300m/s. How far does it travels in 0.5s? | distance = speed x time = 300 x 0.5 = 600m did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A car is travelling at 35m/s. How far does it travel in 1 minute? | convert mins into seconds 1min=60sec then distance = speed x time = 35 x 60 = 2100m did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| You fire an arrow at a target which is 20m away. The arrow travels at 100m/s. How long does it take before the arrow hits the target? | time=distance/speed= 20/100= 0.2s... did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A woman runs at a speed of 9m/s. How long does it take her to run 1800m? | time=distance/speed= 1800/9= 200s... did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| A rocket travels at 2,000m/s. How long does it take to travel 10km? | convert km into m: 10km=10,000m then time=distance/speed= 10,000/2,000= 5s... did you remember shywio? And the units? |
| On a distance-time graph, what does a horizontal line mean? | that the object is not moving |
| On a distance-time graph, what does a very steep line mean? | that the object is moving very fast |
| On a distance-time graph, how do you work out the speed over a given time ? | Find teh time on the x-axis; go up to the line and then across to the y-axis; read the distance covered over that time..... Then speed=distance/time |
