This is an animation illustrating the distinction between the average speed and the instantaneous speed for any given motion.

Kids learn about speed and velocity in the science of physics and the laws of motion including units and measurement. What is the difference between speed and velocity?

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

This is a 10-question quiz over speed and velocity.

Review the key terms and skills related to analyzing motion graphs, such as finding velocity from position vs. time graphs and displacement from velocity vs. time graphs.

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

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.

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

Practice finding average velocity or average speed from a position vs. time graph.

Read the passage "The Speed of a Neural Impulse" and completed the related five-question quiz.

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

A video camera records 30 "frames" or distinct images per second. (That's for an NTSC camera in the U.S. PAL cameras in other areas of the world take 25 frames per second.) You can use this fact to time events and measure velocity. One...

An illustrated article helps physics students learn about center of mass and velocity, and define the concept of inertia.

This site includes practice using the acceleration equation to solve for acceleration, time, and initial or final velocity.

An illustrated example of a speed-time graph plotted with speed on the vertical axis against time on the horizontal axis.

In this investigation, middle schoolers will learn that speed, velocity, and changes in velocity are the result of the action of forces on objects such as friction. They will be able to explain how the force of friction opposes motion by...

In this lesson plan, students investigate motion graphs. Students predict what the distance-time graph and velocity time graph would look like for a student walking across the room for three different scenarios.

What is speed? What is velocity? Illustrated discussion of speed and velocity including how they are measured.

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."

This lesson will introduce the concept of velocity, explaining what it is, how it is calculated, and common units used to represent it. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Velocity."

This lesson introduces the concept of instantaneous velocity without the use of calculus. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Instantaneous Velocity."

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."
