Sample Problem
If a bus travels 100 km in 2 hours, what
is its speed?
Given: = 100 km, = 2 hours
Required: v
Equation: 𝑣=
𝑑
𝑡
100 𝑘𝑚
Solution: 𝑣 =
2 ℎ𝑟𝑠
Answer: v = 50
Sample Problem
Convert the value of speed, 50

Given: 50
Required: v

𝑘𝑚 1000 𝑚 1 ℎ𝑟 𝑚
Solution: 50 ℎ𝑟 1 𝑘𝑚 3600 𝑠
= 13.89 𝑠
Answer: v = 13.89
Constant and Changing Speed

A. Instantaneous Speed
﹡ The speed at any instant

B. Constant Speed
﹡ The speed at which the same
distance is traveled each second
Average Speed (vave)

﹡ The average of all instantaneous


speeds, solved by distance/ time
ratio
﹡ Formula:

𝒕𝑻 𝟐
Solve For It

A man walks 7 km in 2
hours and 2 km in 1 hour
in the same direction.
What is the man's
average speed for the
whole journey?
2. Velocity (𝑣 ̅)
﹡ The displacement covered by a
body per unit of time
﹡ Formula:

𝑣ҧ =
𝑡
﹡ Units:
A. Average Velocity
﹡ The average of all velocity,
solved by displacement/ time ratio
﹡ Formula:
𝑑ҧ 𝑇
𝑣𝑎𝑣𝑒
ҧ =
𝑡
B. Constant Velocity
﹡ Both speed and direction must be
constant
﹡ Constant speed -motion of a body
remains the same or does not
change
﹡ Constant direction -the body
moves along a straight line or
one direction and does not curve
3. Acceleration

﹡ Vector quantity
﹡ Rate at which a body

changes its velocity


﹡ Units:

Conditions for Acceleration:

1. Constant speed and


changes direction
2. Changes speed and
constant direction
3. Both speed and directions
changed
Sample Problem:
What is the acceleration of a
motorcyclist if his speed increases
from 5 to 7 in 4 s?
Given: vi = 5 , vf = 7 ,t=4s
Required: Acceleration in
Equation: Solution:

Answer:
Solve For It

A car traveling at 45
km/hr south passes
another car accelerating
to 60 km/hr south in 5
seconds. What was the
car’s acceleration?
