Speed
Speed is the measure of how fast an object is moving. It can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time it takes to travel that distance.
Calculating Speed
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Units of Speed
Speed is commonly measured in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
Examples
If a car travels 100 kilometers in 2 hours, the speed can be calculated as follows:
Speed = 100 km ÷ 2 hours = 50 km/h
Factors Affecting Speed
Factors that can affect speed include distance, time, and obstacles in the path of the moving object.
