  • Calculating Speed: A Simple Guide Using Distance and Time
    You can determine the speed of an object with constant motion using the following formula:

    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.
