Speed = Distance / Time
Here's how it works:
* Distance: This is the total length of the path the object travels.
* Time: This is the duration of the journey, the time taken to cover the distance.
Example:
Imagine a car travels 100 kilometers in 2 hours. To find its speed:
* Speed = 100 kilometers / 2 hours = 50 kilometers per hour
Therefore, the car's speed is 50 kilometers per hour.
Important Note: This formula works only if the object is moving at a constant speed. If the object accelerates or decelerates, the calculated speed represents the average speed over that time interval.
