Calculating Speed, Distance, and Time

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, measured in units such as meters (m) or kilometers (km).

Front

What is time in the context of speed, distance, and time calculations?

Back

Time is the duration in which an event occurs, measured in units such as seconds (sec), minutes (min), or hours (hr).

Front

What is the average speed?

Back

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

Front

If a car travels 100 km in 2 hours, what is its average speed?

Back

Average speed = 100 km ÷ 2 hr = 50 km/h.

Front

Which unit is commonly used to measure speed?

Back

Meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

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

Back

They are related by the formula: Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

If a runner takes 30 seconds to run 300 meters, what is their speed?

Back

Speed = 300 m ÷ 30 sec = 10 m/s.

Front

What unit is used to measure distance?

Back

Common units for distance include meters (m), kilometers (km), and miles.
