Speed and velocity: WAEC Physics Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Speed and velocity
Our summary: How fast something moves and in which direction, and how to read it from a distance-time graph.
- Concept of speed as change of distance with time
- Concept of velocity as change of displacement with time (Metre per second (m s⁻¹) as unit of speed/velocity.)
- Uniform/non-uniform speed/velocity (Ticker-timer or similar devices should be used to determine speed/velocity. Definition of velocity as $\Delta s / \Delta t$.)
- Distance/displacement-time graph (Determination of instantaneous speed/velocity from distance/displacement-time graph and by calculation.)
