Speed/Distance/Time

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, usually expressed in miles per hour (m/h) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

If a car travels 60 miles in 1 hour, what is its speed?

Back

60 miles per hour (m/h).

Front

What do you need to calculate the speed of an object?

Back

You need the distance traveled and the time taken.

Front

If a runner completes a 400-meter race in 50 seconds, what is their speed?

Back

Speed = 400 meters ÷ 50 seconds = 8 m/s.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object.

Front

If a bike travels 30 miles in 2 hours, what is its average speed?

Back

Average speed = 30 miles ÷ 2 hours = 15 m/h.

Front

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

Back

Time is the duration taken to travel a certain distance.

Front

If a train travels at a constant speed of 80 m/h for 3 hours, how far does it travel?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time = 80 m/h × 3 hours = 240 miles.

Front

What can be inferred if two objects travel the same distance but one takes longer?

Back

The object that took longer traveled at a slower speed.
