Calculating Speed, Distance & Time

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in units like km/hr or miles/hr.

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 kilometers or miles.

Front

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

Back

Time is the duration taken to cover a certain distance, measured in units like hours, minutes, or seconds.

Front

Which unit is commonly used to measure speed?

Back

km/hr (kilometers per hour) or miles/hr (miles per hour).

Front

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

Back

Speed = 100 km / 2 hr = 50 km/hr.

Front

How do you convert hours to minutes?

Back

Multiply the number of hours by 60 (1 hour = 60 minutes).

Front

If a runner completes a 5 km race in 25 minutes, what is their speed in km/hr?

Back

Speed = 5 km / (25/60) hr = 12 km/hr.

Front

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

Back

They are interrelated; knowing any two allows you to calculate the third using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

If a cyclist travels at a speed of 15 km/hr for 3 hours, how far do they travel?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time = 15 km/hr x 3 hr = 45 km.
