Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration Worksheet - Engaging Cut and ... - Free Printable

Let's solve each of the three problems step by step. These are all related to speed, which is calculated using the formula:

$$
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
$$

We'll use this formula for all three problems.

Problem 1:

Calculate the speed of a dog running through a backyard if it is covering 25.8 meters in 37 seconds.

#### Work:
$$
\text{Speed} = \frac{25.8 \text{ m}}{37 \text{ s}} = 0.6973 \text{ m/s}
$$

Rounded to the nearest hundredth:
$$
\text{Speed} ≈ 0.70 \text{ m/s}
$$

#### Answer:
$$
\boxed{0.70} \text{ m/s}
$$

Problem 2:

What is the speed of a sailboat that is traveling 110 meters in 135 seconds?

#### Work:
$$
\text{Speed} = \frac{110 \text{ m}}{135 \text{ s}} = 0.8148 \text{ m/s}
$$

Rounded to the nearest hundredth:
$$
\text{Speed} ≈ 0.81 \text{ m/s}
$$

#### Answer:
$$
\boxed{0.81} \text{ m/s}
$$

Problem 3:

Rebecca decided to calculate the speed of a tarantula that she saw at a museum. She found that the tarantula traveled 20 centimeters in 5 seconds. What was the average speed of the spider?

#### Work:
$$
\text{Speed} = \frac{20 \text{ cm}}{5 \text{ s}} = 4 \text{ cm/s}
$$

#### Answer:
$$
\boxed{4} \text{ cm/s}
$$

✔ Final Answers:

1. 0.70 m/s
2. 0.81 m/s
3. 4 cm/s

These answers should be cut out from the answer sheet and glued into the corresponding boxes as instructed.
