Understanding Distance, Speed, and Time

What is the basic formula to calculate speed?

• Speed multiplied by time

• Distance divided by time

• Time divided by distance

• Distance multiplied by speed

In the first method, what is the speed of the object if the line intersects the speed axis at 2 meters per second?

• 6 meters per second

• 8 meters per second

• 4 meters per second

• 2 meters per second

Why is the first method only useful when speed is constant?

• Because it uses acceleration

• Because it calculates average speed

• Because it requires variable speed

• Because it uses a fixed speed value

What does the second method involve when calculating distance from a graph?

• Using the slope of the graph

• Calculating the area under the graph

• Finding the midpoint of the graph

• Measuring the length of the graph

Why is the area under the graph method recommended?

• It is faster to calculate

• It works regardless of speed variations

• It is simpler than other methods

• It requires less data
