Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is the difference between velocity and speed?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The velocity of an object is its speed in a given direction.
  2. If an object moves along a straight line, the distance travelled can be represented by a distance?time graph.
  3. Velocity is a vector quantity.
  4. The speed of an object can be calculated from the gradient of its distance?time graph.
  5. Students should be able to explain the vector?scalar distinction as it applies to displacement, distance, velocity and speed.
  6. (HT only) If an object is accelerating, its speed at any particular time can be determined by drawing a tangent and measuring the gradient of the distance?time graph at that time.
  7. HT only) Students should be able to explain qualitatively, with examples, that motion in a circle involves constant speed but changing velocity.

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What is velocity a measure of?
    Velocity is a speed in a given direction.
  2. How can the distance travelled by an object in a straight line be represented?
    If an object moves along a straight line, the distance travelled can be represented by a distance?time graph.
  3. Is velocity a vector or scalar quantity and why?
    Velocity is a vetor quanity as it only has a magnitude (size) and a direction.
  4. How can the speed of an object be calculated from a distance-time graph?
    The speed of an object can be calculated from the gradient of its distance?time graph. The gradient of a graph is change of y divided by change in x, in this case is change in distance divided by change in time.
  5. What are the vector - scalar pairs?
    The vector - scalar pairs are displacement : distance velocity : speed
  6. (HT only) If an object is accelerating, how can the speed at a time be determined from a distance-time graph?
    (HT only) If an object is accelerating, its speed at any particular time can be determined by drawing a tangent and measuring the gradient of the distance?time graph at that time.
  7. (HT only) What is constant and what is changing during circular motion?
    (HT only) speed is constant velocity is changing as direction is changing
