    Study Notes

    Usain Bolt's 100m World Record

    • Usain Bolt set a world record of 9.58 seconds in the 100m race at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

    Speed Calculation

    • Calculate the average speed from the record time and distance.

    Speed Definition

    • Speed is the rate at which an object moves.
    • It is calculated as distance divided by time.

    Kinematics

    • Kinematics is the study of motion without considering the forces causing the motion.
    • Key concepts in kinematics are distance, speed, and acceleration.

    Average Speed

    • Average speed is the total distance divided by the total time taken.
    • It's important to note that speed can change over time.

    Sample Questions - Speed & Distance

    • Sample problems are provided to demonstrate the application of speed calculations.
      • Examples include calculations of speed for different distances and times, calculating time needed, etc

    Acceleration

    • Acceleration is the rate of change of speed.
    • Acceleration is calculated as the change in speed divided by the time taken.
    • Acceleration values are measured in m/s².

    Deceleration

    • Deceleration is a negative acceleration—it represents a decrease in speed.

    Sample Question Examples - Acceleration

    • Example problems demonstrating acceleration calculations are provided.
      • Examples include calculating acceleration with given values for speed and time, calculating time taken to achieve a new speed, etc

    Learning Objectives (LO) and Success Criteria (SC) for Speed and Acceleration

    • Learning objectives and success criteria for understanding speed and acceleration are detailed.
    • Key formula a=∆v/∆t
    • Speed is defined as distance over time and acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time.
