A reminder

A reminder

Average speed = distance travelled time taken

S tdx

Examples

A man runs 99 m in 11 seconds. What is his speed?

Examples

A man runs 99 m in 11 seconds. What is his speed?

Speed = distance/time = 99/11 = 9 m/s

Another example

A dog runs at a speed of 3 m/s for two minutes. How far does he run?

Another example

A dog runs at a speed of 3 m/s for two minutes. How far does he run?

Distance = speed x time = 3 x 120 = 360 m

Another example!

A car travels at 60 km/h and covers a distance of 300 km. How long did it take?

Another example!

A car travels at 60 km/h and covers a distance of 300 km. How long did it take?

Time = distance/speed = 300/60 = 5 hours

Do now!Can you discuss with the person next to you what we

learnt (hopefully!) last lesson?

Let’s go on the corridor!

Let’s quietly and sensibly go in the corridor.

You’ll need a pencil and a

piece of paper.

acceleration = change in speed time taken

a = v – ut

a = acceleration (m/s2)v = final speed (m/s)u = initial speed (m/s)t = time taken (s)
