IB+MYP+KINEMATICS

**What does the word kinematics mean?**
*What is the definition of speed? *What is the formula for average speed? *Is the word “average” important? *General knowledge: how fast are the things around us? *What information can I get from a distance-time graph? [] *How can we know the instantaneous speed of an object?

**Experiment on speed**

Practice question(Be sure to show your work!) 1. A train is traveling at the speed of 10m/s at the top of a hill. Five seconds later it reaches the bottom of the hill and is moving at 30m/s. What is the rate of acceleration of the train?

2. Pete the Penguin loves to sled down his favorite hill. If he hits a speed of 50m/s after 5 seconds, what is his rate of acceleration?

3. A truck decelerates from 72m/s to 0m/s in 6 seconds. What is his rate of deceleration?
