Guide Card
Hello. Welcome to another
fun-filled activity as we take
another journey to the world
of Physics. This time we will be
talking about Speed and
Velocity. So fasten your
seatbelt as we go and learn.

This strategic intervention material will give you a wide

understanding of the concepts related to speed and
velocity. Upon finishing, you will be able to:
 Define speed and velocity
 Identify the key concepts on speed and velocity
 Solve real life problems related to speed and velocity
 Introduction
Speed is a scalar quantity which refers on how fast the object is moving. It can be
thought as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast moving object has a
high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. A slow
moving object has a low speed and covers a relatively small distance in a short
amount of time.
Velocity is a vector quantity which refers to the rate at which an object changes its
position. If a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person
must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their
original position. Every step must go into moving that person further from where he
or she started.
Velocity is a vector quantity. As such, velocity is direction aware.
When evaluating the velocity of an object , one must keep track of
direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and does not keep track of
direction. The direction of the velocity vector is simply the same
as the direction which an object is moving. It would not matter
whether the object is speeding up or slowing down.
 Activity Card # 1
Directions: Given are four objects with varying speed. Rank them from 1 to 4, where
1 as the fastest and 4 as the lowest.

____1. A plane moving at a speed of 8.33 m/s.

____2. A sprinter running 100 m in 15 seconds.
____3. A wheel of radius 28 cm moving at 1.76 m/s.
____4. A car running 72 meters after 9 seconds.

Task 2. Determine the average speed of the following object.

1. A runner whose movement is as follows:
200 m for 80 sec., 100 m for 30 sec. , and 300 m for 90 sec.
 Activity Card # 2
Directions: Determine whether the following suggest speed or velocity. Write S for
speed and V for velocity.
___1. An elevator moving at 30 m from the first floor to the third floor for 5 minutes.
___2. A man walked for half an hour and covered 600 meters.
___3. A ball dropped 30 m above the building is found on the ground 3 seconds
after.
___4. The news reported that the speed of Hanging Habagat is 20 km/h.
___5. A runner finished a 400 meter race after 2 minutes and 16 seconds.

Task 2. How fast you move?

Fill up the table below and calculate your speed in m/s.
