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."

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.

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

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...

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 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.

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...

Solve problems where you must find the average velocity or speed by analyzing graphs. Hints and helpful videos are available when needed.

This 9-problem quiz/practice helps students understand how position, velocity and acceleration are related.

In this lesson, you will learn about position vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs and how to use them to solve problems.

This lesson provides the learner with example problems on calculating the average velocity of an object undergoing constant acceleration. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Practice w/ Average Velocity & Constant Acceleration."

Students must show they are able to find the components of a velocity vector and that they can calculate the velocity vector from the components. Students must be able to get 5 in a row correct to receive credit for this assignment.

Students must calculate the speed of a hockey puck based on the graph of force vs. time for the impact between the stick and the puck.
