SPEED SPEED IS THE DISTANCE SOMETHING MOVES DIVIDED BY THE TIME IT TOOK TO MOVE THAT DISTANCE SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME EX: A CAR MOVES 120 KM IN 60 MINUTES. WHAT IS ITS SPEED? SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME SPEED = 120 KM/60 MINUTES SPEED = 2 KM/MINUTE
TEST YOUR SKILLS IF A DRIVER WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL 600 KM IN 3 HOURS, WHAT WAS HIS AVERAGE SPEED? SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME SPEED = 600 KM/3 HOURS SPEED = 200 KM/HOUR (200 KPH) THE FASTEST CAR ON EARTH, THE BRITISH-MADE THRUST SSC, CAN TRAVEL 380 MILES IN 0.5 HOURS. WHAT IS ITS SPEED? SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME (S=D/T) SPEED = 380 MILES/0.5 HOURS SPEED = 760 MILES/HOUR (760 MPH)
