Speed and Velocity (Hurry up and Slow down)

Master speed and velocity with our grade 8 physics worksheet! Includes practice problems.

You are giving another student directions to your house. What would help the student most? if you describe the fastest way if you tell about your neighbors if you identify reference points along the way What is the definition of motion? a change in position over time the speed and direction location of an object An elevator traveled 15 floors (150 meters) at a speed of 4.5 m What additional information do we need to determine the velocity? how many times it stopped. the direction in traveled the mass of the elevator An athlete ran a 5 km race at an average speed of 8 km If she stopped to tie her shoe during the race, why would her average speed be less than 8 km Her distance was longer Her total time increased after she stopped. Her total time decreased after she stopped. In a swimming race Mike swam the first 50m in 42s. He swam the second 50m in 40s. What was his average speed? 0.82m 1.19m 1.22m Which one of these units would you use to measure distance? grams seconds meters The _ of an object describes the speed and direction it is going. motion speed velocity The location to which you compare other locations is called a: reference point spot vector An airplane travels 3,850km in 5.5 hours. What is the speed? 700 km 700 km 700 hours How do we represent a vector? arrow circle map Click on the number from the word bank that answers the question. What is the speed of a dog that runs 100m in 40s? 2.5 m many minutes does it take for a horse to run 1.5 miles at an average speed of 15mph? 6 minWhat is the average speed of a train traveling at 100 km for 6 hours then 120 km for 5 hours? 110 km far can a lion run at a speed of 20 m for 15 s? 300 mHow far does a car travel going 70 km for 6 hrs? 420 km
