Speed
From YouTube, produced by TVOntario

The concept of speed is introduced to the inertia-mass relationship. Concept: Force varies with mass and rate of change of speed. Eureka was a series of short cartoons on physics that ran on public television in the 1980's. The video explains the co...ncept in simple and well illustrated way. Good for students of any elementary school level.

If you are traveling 20 mph, how far would your car go before stopping? This video adapted from KET's Street Skills explores the two parts of the stopping process: reaction time, how long it takes your brain to respond, and stopping distance, and the... distance traveled between putting on the brake and coming to a stop. Run time 03:51.

Racecar teams look to reduce the time it takes their cars to complete a circuit. They focus most of their efforts on improving what's called cornering speed, because it's in the corners, where cars must reduce speed, that precious time is lost. Using... a mix of practice lap and actual race footage, this video segment, adapted from NOVA, highlights the forces at work on a racecar as it travels around a track. Closed captioning included. Run time 06:28.

Physics must explain not only why and how much, but also where and which way. Physicists and mathematicians invented a way of describing quantities that have direction as well as magnitude. Laws that deal with such phenomena as distance and speed are... universal. And vectors, which describe quantities such as displacement and velocity, universally express the law of physics in a way that is the same for all coordinate systems.
