rd
Objective/s:
• Differentiate speed from
velocity
• Compute for velocity of
moving objects
IDENTIFY THE QUANTITIES IN THESE
ITEMS.
1. 50 Km = distance
2. 40 Kph = speed
3. 2 hours = time
4. 100 m/s, north = velocity
5. 2,300 m/s = speed
Are their distance the same?
Are their displacement the same?
How about their speed?
How about their velocity?
What is the difference between speed
and velocity?
SPEED VELOCITY
d d , direction
t t
Rate at which an object Speed in a given
moves direction
Scalar quantity Vector quantity
The velocity of an object will change if…
• It speeds up
• It slows down
• It changes direction
Knowing the difference
between speed and velocity,
why do most people live their Think about it!
life in speed but without
direction?

Karen drives to the city to pick up a
friend. She went 280 Km, east in about 9.6
hrs. Calculate her velocity.
Given: dis. = 280 Km, east Find: v = ?
t = 9.6 hr
Soln.
v = dis. = 280 Km, East= 29.17 Km/hr, East
t 9.6 hr
1. Kylie was on a trek going to the North
camp site. She walked 0.39 Km and has

Distance traveled: 7 cm
Displacement: +3 cm, east
Average speed: (7 cm) / (5 s) = 1.4 cm/s
Average velocity: (+3 cm, E) / (5 s) = +0.6

A man walks 7km in 2 hours West and 2 km in
1 hour back toward the East. What is the
man’s average speed? What is the man’s
average velocity?
AVERAGE SPEED
Given: d = 7km+ 2km= 9 km
t = 3 hr Find: Save = ?
Soln.
Save = total d. = 9 Km = 3 Km/hr
total t. 3 hr
A man walks 7km in 2 hours West and 2 km in
1 hour back toward the East. What is the
man’s average speed? What is the man’s
average velocity?
AVERAGE VELOCITY
Given: dis. = 7km,W- 2km, E= 5 km, W
t = 3 hr Find: Vave = ?
Soln.
Vave = dis = 5 Km, W= 1.67 Km/hr, W
t 3 hr

1. A sailboat is traveling north at 10 km/h,
relative to the water. The water is flowing
north at 5 km/h. What is the velocity of the
boat relative to ground?
