Discover the difference between speed, velocity, and acceleration. Provides formulas and other interesting facts.

This lesson focuses on how to calculate average speed and distance traveled. It also explains how to convert different units of measure and provides a link to an assessment.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationship between the distance from an explosion and the time it takes the sound of the explosion to reach the observer. The temperature of the air can be changed by changing the...

Students must determine the horizontal speed of a projectile based on the distance that it travels and other given information. Students must find the time of flight and put it in milliseconds. Finally, students must find the final...

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to observe the effect of speeding up, slowing down, and moving at a constant rate on a Distance versus Time plot.

Students will make go-carts and measure the velocity, then change one variable and see how the velocity changes. They will learn about the equation speed = distance divided by time and practice using it.

In this activity, students' use a motion detector to create straight-line, or constant-speed, distance versus time plots, and analyze the linear equation that describes the plots.

In past times, ocean navigators tossed a piece of wood over the side of their ships and noted how long until the ship passed the wood. They used this time measurement and the length of the ship to calculate their speed and estimate how...

This project is an experiment in classical physics. You'll be following in Galileo's footsteps, and investigating Newton's laws of motion, but you'll be taking advantage of modern video recording technology to make your measurements. The...

Eighth graders are presented with the graphs of two cars traveling. One shows distance from home versus time and the other shows speed versus time. Students are to write a description of what might be happening during each car's...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students apply a formula to solve problems involving speed, distance and time.

At the 2010 NFL draft, NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen was dared to run the 40-yard dash. The 40-something reporter in a suit was no match for the 22-year-old NFL draft prospects. Eisen's colleagues put together this segement mocking his...
