Through illustrated examples and interactive practice problems, students examine the difference between speed and velocity.

This lesson provides the learner with example problems on calculating the speed and velocity of an object. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Practice Calculating Speed & Velocity."

A printable, high-school level learning exercise with physics problems which allows students to practice describing motion using speed and velocity.

This lesson provides the learner with example problems on calculating the instantaneous speed and velocity of an object. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Practice Calculating Instantaneous Velocity."

Solve problems using vectors that involve velocity, speed, direction, and magnitude. Includes examples and practice problems. Click on the buttons under the practice questions to see the solutions.

Students are presented with two cars that have different constant speeds and that will race each other. They then determine which object will win the race, as well as how much time elapses between the objects crossing the finish line.

A program that will randomly move an object from one location to another in three-dimensional space. You must determine the three components of the velocity vector that is created by this movement and also the speed of the object during...

Practice calculating average velocity and speed from word problems when an object moves in one direction.

Practice calculating average velocity and speed from word problems when an object changes directions.

How to calculate average velocity and speed in one-dimension in word problems.

In this section of the textbook learn how to define and calculate flow rate. Also learn the differences and similarities between flow rate and fluid velocity. Section also relates flow rate to processes in the body like calculating flow...

This study guide on motion covers some key vocabulary and terms to describe motion: displacement vs. distance, acceleration, speed vs. velocity, and instantaneous vs. average. It includes graphs showing distance vs. time, velocity vs....

After viewing an introductory illustrated podcast on speed, distance, time, and velocity, students explore distance-time graphs using interactive websites. Working in cooperative learning groups, students will investigate the motion of...

Practice problems dealing with displacement, velocity, and acceleration vectors for horizontally launched projectiles. In these practice problems, students will compare initial speed and time in the air for multiple projectiles.

Students must determine where a soccer ball will land based on the speed with which it is kicked. Students will also need to find the time in the air and the maximum height obtained by the projectile. This problem does not take place on...

Find out the instantaneous velocity based on a position vs. time graph.

Students must determine when a soccer ball reaches a given height based on the velocity with which it is kicked. Students are reminded that the ball will reach this height twice, once on the way up and once on the way down. Students must...

Students are finding the relative velocity between two objects using a position vs. time graph.

Students must determine the 3 components of the initial velocity of a soccer ball on a corner kick. Students will see the displacement of the ball in all three dimensions as well as the time the ball is in the air. Students must also...

Students are finding the velocities of objects based on the position vs. time graphs they create.

Learners investigate velocity. Some topics examined are average velocity, distance, and displacement. The resource includes example problems with solutions, interactive graphs, and a chapter quiz.

Students "learn about vehicles, velocity, angles, and energy," as they participate in a variety of creative and hands-on activities, like building adjustable ramps, researching modes of transportation, and predicting "what transportation...

Using these rate of speed problems practice figuring out either the distance, time or speed. Read the interactive quiz rules and then click on the "Begin" ticket. If you answer incorrectly you get one more chance to try again then you...
