• Speed = Distance × Time

• Speed = Distance ÷ Time

• Speed = Time ÷ Distance

• Speed = Distance + Time

How is average speed calculated?

• Total Time / Total Distance

• Total Distance / Total Time

• Total Distance x Total Time

• Total Time - Total Distance

What is velocity?

• Speed in any direction

• Speed but in a specific direction

• Speed without direction

• Speed and time

• Speed

• Velocity

• Acceleration
