This document discusses concepts related to motion including distance, displacement, velocity, speed, and provides examples of calculating speed. It contains instructions and procedures for an activity where students measure time to walk and run 50 meters to calculate their average speed and velocity. The document also provides an assignment where students calculate their speed getting to school using typical distance and time.

to: • Distinguish between speed and velocity quantities; • Give the importance of speed and velocity in the real world; and, • Calculate speed and velocity. Steps in Problem Solving Step 1: Find the given in the problem Step 3: Choose the best formula Given: distance = 120 meters Formula: Speed = distance time = 60 seconds time
Step 2: Find the unknown
unknown = speed Steps in Problem Solving Step 4: Solve the problem Speed = 120 meters 60 seconds
Step 5: Final answer
Speed = 2 meters per second or 2 m/s FUN WALK AND RUN Instructions:
Class will be divided into two.
Students will need to find out who walks/runs
the slowest and fastest based on distance and time. PROCEDURE 1. Make a 50-m straight distance
2. Measure the total time Interval you spent in walking the
given distance and in running as you return to the starting point.
3. Let the other members of your group do step 2 and record
time spent. ACTIVITY DATA students 1 2 3 4 5
