How do you find speed from distance and time?

Divide distance by time. The skating race sheet has students do this for each 100 m segment and round to the nearest 0.1 m/s.

What forces act on a speed skater?

The ice pushes the skater forward with a push-off force, while air drag and friction resist the motion. When the push is greater than the resisting forces, the skater speeds up.

Speed tells how fast an object moves, and velocity adds the direction. There are 2 sheets for 7th grade here, each with an answer key. Calculate Velocity With Direction separates distance from displacement and uses trips, a bus, a sailboat, a drone and a train. Forces and Speed in a Skating Race names the forces on a skater and graphs speed over five 100 m segments. Both sheets practice MS-PS2-2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Divide displacement by time and give the direction. A displacement of 200 m east in 40 s gives 5 m/s east.
