Speed and Velocity Practice PDF

The document provides practice problems on speed, velocity, distance, and time. There are three types of problems - solving for speed, distance, or time. Eight sample problems are given involving trains, walking, running, and driving to calculate speed, velocity, distance, and time based on the formulas that speed is distance over time and velocity includes direction.

Practice problems for speed and velocity.

The formula for speed is distance / time = speed Velocity is calculated the same way but you need to
include the direction when you are asked for a velocity. There are three types of speed math problem. Solve
for speed . solve for distance and solve for time.

Solve for speed and velocity.


1. The train traveled 500 kilometers north to Odessa in 2 hours. What is the train’s speed? What is it’s
velocity?

2. Ann walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is Ann’s speed? What is Ann’s velocity.

3. Jeremie ran around the track at the YMCA for 2 hours. When he was done he figured that he had
traveled 20 kilometers. What was his speed? What was his velocity?

4. The race car was moving for 3.7 hours and during that time moved 500 miles east. What is the speed?
What is the velocity?

Solve for distance


5. If you travel for three hours at a speed of 30 km/h, how far will you go?

6. Mike is driving west on I-80 for 1.5 hours at a speed of 70 miles per hour. What is his distance?

Solve for time

7. If you are traveling at 75 km/h how long will it take to travel 32 km?

8. How long will it take to travel 78 miles if you are traveling at 65 miles per hour?
