Part 6:​ Read It! 10 min.
Directions:​Read the passage below and copy the statements into your notebook:
a. The main idea from this reading is … (write 2-3 sentences)

Speed
Did you ever play fast-pitch softball? If you did, then you
probably have some idea of how fast the pitcher throws
the ball. For a female athlete like the one in the opening
image, the ball may reach a ​speed​ of 120 km/h (about 75
mi/h). For a male athlete, the ball may travel even faster.
A fast-pitch pitcher uses a “windmill” motion to throw the
ball. This is a different technique than other softball pitches, and it explains why the ball
travels so fast.

Introducing Speed
How fast or slow something moves is its ​speed​. Speed determines how far something
travels in a given amount of time. The ​ unit​ for speed is meters per second (m/s). Speed
may be constant, but often it varies from moment to moment.
Average Speed
Even if speed varies during the course of a trip, it’s easy to calculate the average speed by
using this formula:

speed=distance/time

For example, assume you go on a car trip with your family. The total distance you travel is
120 miles, and it takes 3 hours to travel that far. The average speed for the trip is:

speed=120 miles
time = 3 hours so
speed = 120 miles/3 hours = 40 mi/h

1. Copy the questions in your notebook.
2. Use the reading to help you answer the questions below:
a. According to this reading, speed is...
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________

b. The unit for speed is...

______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________

c. What is the formula for speed?

______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
 d. For example, assume you go on a car trip with your family. The total distance you
travel is 120 miles, and it takes 3 hours to travel that far. What is the formula for
speed?

Part 8: ​Watch it! (Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration) 5 min.

Directions:
1. Watch the ​Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration | Physics of Motion Explained​.
2. Write the questions below, and answer them in your notebook.

a) Speed and ​_________​ are different.

b) Acceleration is much more than just ​_________​ ​_________​ .
c) Speed is the rate at which something changes its ​_________​ . It’s represented
as ​_________​ over ​_________​ .
d) If you’re driving in your car at 72 miles per hour then that’s your ​_________​ , or
your ​_________​ speed. This is also known as your ​_________​ speed.
e) Velocity is a lot like speed except for one important difference it’s a ​_________​ .
Which means it has a ​_________​ attached to it.
f) Acceleration is the ​_________​ at which ​_________​ changes.
g) Any time you change your ​_________​ you are ​_________​ that could be
speeding up or slowing down which is also known as negative acceleration.
h) Direction is also a component of velocity so when you change your ​_________
even if your ​_________​ doesn’t change you are accelerating.
i) Speed is the ​_________​ at which something ​_________​ . Distance/ Time.
j) Velocity is speed with a ​_________​ . So distance/time with a direction.
k) Acceleration is ​_________​ / ​_________​ ^2. Or the rate at which ​_________
changes. So whether you’re speeding up, slowing down, or changing directions
your changing your velocity and thus ​_________​ .
