speed = distance/time
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you calculate speed by the equation m/sec or cm/sec. This means that you would divide the distance by the time it took.
Actually to measure the speed of light is an interesting and intelligent task done by the scientists. Because the speed of light is 300,000 km in one second which is actually incredible. Out of all those, Michelson's rotating octagonal mirror method is very important. In his experiment the equation to calculate the speed of light is
speed of light = N n D. Here N = 8 as octagonal rotor is used. n - the number of rotations made by the rotor in one second. D - the total distance travelled by light.
Michelson did this experiment keeping the observatory on one mountain, Mt.Wilson and a reflector on another mountain, Mt. Antonio separated by some 35 km.

Which equation is used to find average speed?
The equation is Average Speed = Distance Travels/Time. Just answered it Correct!
What is the equation of average speed?
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
What is is the equation for calculating average speed?
Speed= distance over time. :)
What is the equation for average speed and acceleration?
Average speed = Distance travelled/time to travel the distance . Average acceleration = Change of speed/time for the change .
What is the equation used for calculating average speed?
Speed= distance over time. :)
What is the equation for computing the average speed?
Distance travelled divided by the time it took.
How do you get the avrage speed?
d/t=s d = distance t = time s = speed the speed is actually going to be the average speed because they are practically the same thing (and for this equation speed is the exact same thing as average speed)
What equation relates travel time t to average speed?
t+v+d
What equation do you use to find average speed?
(total distance travelled)/(total time)
What is the equation for figuring miles per hr?
Average speed = Distance/Time taken
A car travels 70 miles in 80 minutes. Which is its average speed per minute?
Simple Equation Speed = Distance / Time as you want it in a speed distance per minute, the time in this equation is in minutes. it will result in a unit of miles per minute. 70 divided by 80 = 0.875 so the average speed is 0.875 Miles per Minute
What is the equation for average acceleraton for straight line motion?
Average acceleration = (change in speed over some period of time) divided by (time for the change)
