100 m
s=
(5 s )
s= 20 m/s
360 m
s=

Example:
What is the runner’s average velocity if his position
changes from 15 m east to 40 m east during a
three second time interval?
Given:
Initial position: 15 m, E
Final position: 40 m, E
Time: 3 s
Formula:
d
v=
t
Displacement= 40 m-15 m
= 25 m

1. A boy walks at a speed of 4 kmph. How
much time does he take to walk a distance
of 20 km?
Solution
Time = Distance / speed = 20/4 = 5 hours.
2. A cyclist covers a distance of 15 miles in 2
hours. Calculate his speed.
Solution
Speed = Distance/time = 15/2 = 7.5 miles per hour.
3. If a sprinter runs 100 m in 10 seconds, what
is his average velocity?
Solution
velocity=distance/time
v= 100m/10s
(Answer: 10 m/s)
F. EVALUATE Individual Activity
(10) Direction:
True or False.
3. The quickly moving train to the west is
considered as having velocity.
4. The speedometer of the motorcycle is an
example of speed.
