
Kevin starts from the origin and walks +450m. What is his displacement? What distance did he walk?
Distance: ____________________ Displacement: ______________________

Connor starts from +400m and walks -1000m. What is his displacement? What distance did he walk?
Distance: ____________________ Displacement: ______________________
Makayla starts at the origin. She takes 20 seconds to walk 400m east. She then takes 60 seconds to walk 900
meters west. Finally she takes 30 seconds to walk 100meters east again. What is her: Initial position, final
position, displacement, total distance walked, average speed and average velocity for the trip?
What was her starting position?
What was her final or ending position?
What distance did she walk?
What was her displacement at the end of her walk?
What was her average speed?
What was her average velocity?

2.7)
Can, given distance and time, calculate the speed of an object:
A runner runs a 100m sprint in 9.85seconds. What was the runners average speed?
A car moves 8500m west in 45seconds. What was the cars velocity?
A train moves 155km north in 2.5hours. What was the trains velocity?
2.8)

Can, given displacement and time, calculate the velocity of an object using v = x / t.
Quinn starts from the origin and walks +450m in 25seconds. What is his displacement? What distance
did he walk? What was his speed? What was his velocity?
Distance: _________ Displacement: __________
Speed: ________ Velocity: ________
Construct a Position vs Time graph of the scenario below:

Noah starts from +300m and walks +200m in 30seconds. He then walks -500m in 60seconds. He
then walks +300m in 60seconds. What is his displacement? What distance did he walk? What was his
speed? What was his velocity?
Distance: _________ Displacement: __________
Speed: ________ Velocity: ________
