Distance Time 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

What is the equation to calculate speed?

• speed = time ÷ distance

• speed = distance ÷ time

• speed = distance × time

• speed = distance × velocity

What is the equation to calculate time?

• time = speed ÷ distance

• time = distance ÷ speed

• time = speed × distance

• time = distance × speed
