The velocity of an object is a measure of both its magnitude and direction. The magnitude or size of the velocity is called speed.
Speed describes how fast an object is moving.
In each of the following places, find the speed of the animal, person or object indicated. To find the speed, pick two points and time the animal, person or object between these two points. Be careful not to pick points that are too close together or your times will be too short to be accurate. You can measure the distance between points after the show. Use the diagram of the pools to estimate distances, or use the pre-measured distances.
