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)
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:
𝑑ҧ
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
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?
