The variables include acceleration (a), time (t), displacement (d), final velocity (vf), and initial velocity (vi). If values of three variables are known, then the others can be calculated using the equations. This page demonstrates the process with 20 sample problems and accompanying solutions.

The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. Speed is ignorant of direction. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is a direction-aware quantity. The average velocity is the displacement (a vector quantity) per time ratio.
Problem #1. (a) Is it possible to move with constant speed but not constant velocity? (b) Is it possible to move with constant velocity but not constant speed? Answer: a.) Yes. For example, if a car travels at constant speed while going around a curve in the road, its speed remains constant.
In this section we will look at time, speed, and velocity to expand our understanding of motion. A description of how fast or slow an object moves is its speed. Speed is the rate at which an object changes its location.
In daily life we use speed and velocity interchangeably but in physics they have different meanings. We can define velocity as the “rate of change of displacement” whereas “the speed is rate of change of distance”.
Speed, Distance, Time Worksheet. Use * m/s, km/h, or mph. Calculate Speed R̅= P 1. A car travels a distance of 540km in 6 hours. Calculate the speed of the car. 2. John is a runner. He runs the 100m sprint in 20.0 s. Calculate the John’s speed. 3. Lauren walks 400 m in 125 s . Calculate Lauren’s average speed. 4.
practice problem 1. I went for a walk one day. I walked north 6.0 km at 6.0 km/h and then west 10 km at 5.0 km/hr. Determine the average… speed. velocity. …for the entire journey. solution. Average speed. This problem is deceptively easy. Averaging is taught in elementary school, which makes this an elementary problem. Right?
