Key Stage 3
Meaning
\[Speed = {\tfrac{distance}{time}} \] is an equation which can be used to calculate the speed of an object given the distance traveled and the time taken to travel that distance.
About Speed=Distance/Time
- The units of speed are given by the units of distance used and the units of time used in the calculation.
\[Speed = {\tfrac{distance}{time}} \] \[Speed = {\tfrac{metres}{seconds}} \] \[Speed = {\tfrac{m}{s}} \] \[Speed = m/s = metres per second \]
