F&M A Calculating Speed, Distance, Time

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

If a person walks 5 miles in 1 hour, what is their speed in miles per minute?

Back

Speed = 5 miles / 60 minutes = 0.0833 miles/min

Front

What is the relationship between speed, distance, and time?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time

Front

Convert 60 km/hr to m/s.

Back

60 km/hr = 60 * (1000 m / 3600 s) = 16.67 m/s

Front

What is the unit of distance in the metric system?

Back

Kilometer (km) is a unit of distance in the metric system.

Front

How do you calculate distance traveled if you know speed and time?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

What is the unit of speed commonly used in physics?

Back

Meters per second (m/s) is a common unit of speed in physics.

Front

If a car travels at a speed of 50 miles/hr for 2 hours, how far does it travel?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time = 50 miles/hr x 2 hours = 100 miles.

Front

What is the speed of a train that travels 100 km in 2 hours?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time = 100 km / 2 hours = 50 km/hr.

Front

What is the definition of average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.
