What is the formula for calculating speed distance and time


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 347 People


Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating speed?

Distance divided by mass
Mass divided by volume
Time divided by Distance
Distance divided by time

Answered by admin @



Answer: The formula used to calculate speed is distance divided by time.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with respect to time.

The equation used to calculate speed of the object follows:

\text{Speed of the object}=\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time taken}}

The S.I. unit of speed is meters per second (m/s)

For Example: A car traveled a distance of 200 meters in 5 second.

\text{Speed of the car}=\frac{200m}{5s}=40m/s

Hence, the formula used to calculate speed is distance divided by time.
