Understanding Speed Calculation

What two measurements are essential for calculating speed?

• Speed and velocity

• Time and temperature

• Distance and weight

• Distance and time

In the experiment, what unit is used to measure the distance the ball travels?

• Feet

• Miles

• Meters

• Kilometers

What is the formula used to calculate speed?

• Speed = time x distance

• Speed = time / distance

• Speed = distance / time

• Speed = distance + time

If a ball travels 15 meters in 1.01 seconds, what is its speed in meters per second?

• 14.85 meters per second

• 15.85 meters per second

• 15.01 meters per second

• 14.00 meters per second

What does 'per' signify in the term 'kilometers per hour'?

• Subtraction

• Division

• Multiplication

• Addition
