Sophia: Average Speed & Average Velocity: Lesson 3

Show us your moves. Using sensor equipment, scholars track the motion of different movements, such as jogging, skipping, or jump roping. They analyze velocity and acceleration and create graphs representing each movement.

Physics fanatics time five cars as they pass on the highway. They use the times and a 20-yard distance to calculate velocity. They also graph distance vs. time. A page of student pre-lab questions is provided in addition to the activity...

Students calculate the speed of an object, by measuring the amount of time it takes to cover a given distance, and then divide: speed=distance/time. However, the object may not have been moving at a constant rate over the given distance....

This lesson explains how average velocity can be represented by a positive or negative sign. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Average Velocity & Sign Notation." [6:44]

A video tutorial which demonstrates how average velocity can be shown using a positive or negative sign. [4:17]

Looking to review how kinetic energy is related to mass and speed? This video lesson review the concept of kinetic energy, mass, and speed with both definitions and problems. Problems are work through step-by-step so you can review how...

If your pupils think relative velocity is the velocity at which you can run away from your relatives, they need this simulation. Two bikers want to meet at a specific time. Scholars alter the velocity of one rider to arrange the...

This lesson will define certain and uncertain digits in measurement. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Identifying Certain and Uncertain Digits."

This lesson will describe Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation."

This lesson introduces Newton's first law of motion otherwise known as the law of inertia. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law of Motion."
