Unit7 Speed/Distance
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| To find distance you use this equation ... | Distance = Speed X Time |
| To find speed you use this equation ... | Speed = Distance / Time |
| To find time you use this equation ... | Time = Distance / Speed |
| Distance | the totalt movement of an object without any regard to direction |
| Speed | the rate of change of position of an object in any direction |
| Time | a measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues |

| Measuring Labels for time | Hour (hr), Minutes (min), Second (s) |
| If Steve throws a football 50 meters in 3 seconds, what is the average speed of the ball? | S = D/T S = 50/3 S = 16.67 m/s |
| If Ashley takes 3 seconds to run from home to the shed at an average speed of 6.5 meters per second, what is the distance she travels in that time? FIND DISTANCE | D = T x S D = 3 x 6.5 D = 19.5 m |
| Tim swims at an average speed of 8 meters per second, how long will it take him to complete the race of 200 meters? FIND TIME | T = D/T T = 200/8 T = 25 s |
