Calculating Distance and Speed

What is distance?

• an object's overall change in position (start to end)

• how much ground an object has covered during its motion

• how fast an object is moving

• how long it takes an object to move from start to end

Calculate the length of Mary's trip.

• 10 miles

• 14 miles

• 24 miles

• 28 miles

What is the equation used to calculate distance?

• distance = speed ÷ time

• distance = speed x time

• distance = speed + time

• distance = speed - time

What is the equation to calculate distance?

• Distance = speed/time

• Distance = speed/distance

• Distance = time/speed

• Distance = speed x time

If a puppy runs across a park at a speed of 15 m/s. The puppy has a time of 5 seconds. How far did the puppy run?

• 75 m

• 30 m

• 45 m

• 105 m

• 10.7

• 11.7

• 12.7

Find the distance between J and K.

• 8.2

• 7.7

• 9

• 10.2

What is the equation to calculate distance?

• distance = speed/time

• distance = time/speed

• distance = speed/distance

• distance = speed x time 

If two runners run around a track of 200 meters and 300 meters, how often will they start together if they run at the same speed?

• Every 600 meters

• Every 200 meters

• Every 300 meters

• Every 400 meters

What equation do I use to calculate distance?

• S = D/T

• T = D/S

• D=TS
