1. Distance: The total length traveled by an object.
2. Time: The duration it takes to travel that distance.
Formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Example:
If a car travels 100 kilometers in 2 hours, its speed is:
Speed = 100 km / 2 hours = 50 km/h
Units of Speed:
* Meters per second (m/s)
* Kilometers per hour (km/h)
* Miles per hour (mph)
* Feet per second (ft/s)
Important Notes:
* Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude (size) and no direction.
* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
* Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.
* Instantaneous speed is the speed at a specific moment in time.
