What Is Speed?
Speed is how fast something is moving.
– Speed is always some distance divided by some time.
– The units of speed may be miles per hour, or meters
per second, or kilometers per hour, or inches per
minute, etc.
Rate is one quantity divided by another quantity.
– For example: gallons per minute, pesos per dollar,
points per game.
– So average speed is the rate at which distance is

Instantaneous Velocity
Instantaneous velocity is a vector quantity having:
a size (magnitude) equal to the instantaneous
speed at a given instant in time, and
a direction equal to the direction of motion at that
instant.

 A steep slope
indicates a rapid
change in velocity
(or speed), and thus
a large acceleration.
 A horizontal line

Velocity
Velocity involves direction of motion as well as how fast
the object is going.
– Velocity is a vector quantity.
– Vectors have both magnitude and direction.
– Velocity has a magnitude (the speed) and also a direction
(which way the object is moving).
A change in velocity can be a change in the object’s speed
or direction of motion.
A speedometer doesn’t indicate direction, so it indicates
instantaneous speed but not velocity.

Changing Velocity
 A force is required to produce a
change in either the magnitude
(speed) or direction of velocity.
 For the car to round the curve,
friction between the wheels and the
road exerts a force to change the
car’s direction.
 For a ball bouncing from a wall,
the wall exerts a force on the ball,
causing the
ball toSection

direction.

Why Velocity Is So Useful
Velocity is a vector and represents a bodies speed and direction.
• A force must act on a body to change its velocity (i.e. its speed,
direction or both).
• The force causes the body to accelerate resulting in a change in
its velocity.
• Acceleration is a vector and represents the rate of change of
velocity with time.

Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes.
– Our bodies don’t feel velocity, if the velocity is constant.
– Our bodies feel acceleration.
• A car changing speed or direction.
• An elevator speeding up or slowing down.
Acceleration can be either a change in the object’s
speed or direction of motion.

Instantaneous Acceleration
 Instantaneous acceleration is the
acceleration at that precise instant in time.
It
is the rate at which velocity is changing at
a given instant in time.
It is found by calculating the average
speed, over a short enough time that the
speed does not change much.

Return to car on a bend
Car moved at a constant speed but its direction continuously
changed – thus its velocity was changing.
• But we now know that velocity changes are produced by an
acceleration.
• Thus when the car rounds the bend at a constant speed it is
accelerating!!
• Direction of acceleration is given by DV direction.

Thus the acceleration is also directed towards the center of curvature.
This is why the car does NOT change speed but you still feel a force on your body
as you round the bend… (change in direction).
• Force is due to friction of tires on road enabling the car to change direction.
Example:
For a given speed the acceleration experienced (force) depends on the curvature
of the bend.

Scalars and Vectors
Scalar: Measure of quantity or size
Sometimes called “magnitude”.
Examples: Length, volume, mass, temperature, speed…
Vectors: Many measurements in physics require a knowledge
of the magnitude and direction of quantity.
These are termed vector quantities.
Examples: Velocity, acceleration, force, electric field…
Direction is an essential feature of a vector quantity.
Example:
