A runner races in the 100 meter dash.  It takes her 10 seconds to finish.  What is her average speed?

• 10 m/s
• 1000 m/s
• 100 seconds
• 10 seconds

Alan travels 100 km in 5hrs. Find his average speed in km/h

• 5km/hr
• 10km/hr
• 50km/hr
• 20km/hr

Find speed when distance is 142 km and time is 2 hours.

• 71km/hr
• 52km/hr
• 17km/hr
• 90km/hr

Which is correct?

• speed = distance x time
• speed = speed divided time
• speed = Distance divide time
• Speed = time x speed

What does this graph represent?

• Constant Speed
• Acceleration
• Not moving

What is the speed of an object that travels 60 meters in 4 seconds?

• 240 m/s
• 15 m/s
• 0.067 m/s
• 15 mph
