Pre-Assessment Average Speed

Which information is needed to  determine  how fast a  truck  is traveling? 

• direction and  mass  
• distance  and time 
• size and  speed 
• time  and  weight  

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

To calculate average speed you _______ the distance traveled by the elapsed time.

• divide
• multiply
• square
• subtract

The formula for speed is:  Speed=Distance/Time
To work it out you need to...

• Add the distance and time
• Multiply the distance and time
• divide distance and time 
• subtract distance and time
