Distance, Speed, Velocity

• What is distance?

  The amount of space between two points.
• What is displacement?

  Distance and direction in a straight line from an object's starting point to the finishing point
• What is speed?

  The rate at which an object moves.
• What is velocity?

  Speed in a given direction
• How can speed be calculated?

  Speed = Distance/time
• What is a person's walking speed?

  1.5m/s
• What is a person's running speed?

  3m/s
• What is a person's cycling speed?

  6m/s
• What is acceleration?

  How quickly you're speeding up
• How is acceleration calculated?

  Acceleration = change in velocity/change in time
• How is constant acceleration calculated?

  Final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2= 2(acceleration * distance)
