Back

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

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (only magnitude), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).
