Velocity Calculations: Speed, Distance, and Time Mastery

What is the basic formula for calculating speed?

• Speed = Time * Distance

• Speed = Distance * Time

• Speed = Time / Distance

• Speed = Distance / Time

If a car travels 120 kilometers in 5 hours, what is its speed?

• 25 km/h

• 24 km/h

• 20 km/h

• 30 km/h

What is the purpose of the triangle method in speed calculations?

• To simplify the formula for speed

• To help remember the units of measurement

• To rearrange the formula to solve for distance or time

• To convert units between kilometers and miles

Using the triangle method, how do you calculate time if you know the distance and speed?

• Time = Distance / Speed

• Time = Speed / Distance

• Time = Speed * Distance

• Time = Distance * Speed

If a car travels 1000 miles at a speed of 60 miles per hour, how long will it take?

• 16.6 hours

• 18.6 hours

• 15.6 hours

• 17.6 hours

What is the first step when calculating distance if the time is given in minutes?

• Divide the time by the speed

• Multiply the time by the speed

• Convert the time to seconds

• Convert the time to hours

If a car travels at 100 km/h for 0.5 hours, what is the distance covered?

• 55 km

• 50 km

• 45 km

• 40 km

Why is it important to ensure units are consistent when performing speed, distance, and time calculations?

• To simplify the formula

• To make the calculations easier

• To avoid errors in the final result

• To convert between different units

What happens to the units of measurement when calculating distance using speed and time?

• They are multiplied together

• They remain the same

• They cancel each other out

• They need to be converted

What is the correct formula to calculate distance using speed and time?

• Distance = Speed + Time

• Distance = Speed / Time

• Distance = Speed * Time

• Distance = Time / Speed
