STARTER
FIND SOMEONE WHO• can answer the questions on your
cards• get up and move around!• Every question must be answered
by someone different• you are NOT allowed to ask
anyone on the same table as you!
What are the units of speed when:
Distance is measured in metres and time in seconds
Distance is measured in kilometres and time in hours
Distance is measured in metres and time in minutes
Pairs of cameras spot your number plate, start a timer, and then spot your number plate again leaving a zone
800m
The speed cameras record that a car takes 350 seconds to move between them. Calculate the average speed of the car. Show your working. Give the unit. 2.28 m/s

The area under the graph gives the distance travelled

Too easy? I have a challenge for you!
• Can you watch the following video clip and use a stopwatch to determine how far the car travelled?
• I will provide you with a stopwatch and a table to fill in!
Activity
Plot these results on a speed time graph, with time on the bottom axis (the x axis) and speed on the side axis (the y axis).
Label the points where there is a change in motion A,B,C,D,E,F,H,I,J and K.
Example: point A is at time 0 and speed 0.
