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.

Average speed = Total distance / Total time
Average speed is typically calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. The equation is: Average speed = total distance / total time.
Speed= distance over time. :)
The equation used to calculate average speed is distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance. It is represented as: Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.
Average speed = Distance travelled/time to travel the distance . Average acceleration = Change of speed/time for the change .
Speed= distance over time. :)
The equation to find average speed is total distance traveled divided by total time taken. Average speed = total distance / total time.
Distance travelled divided by the time it took.
The equation linking average speed (v), distance moved (d), and time taken (t) is: v = d/t. This equation represents the average speed as the ratio of the total distance traveled to the total time taken to cover that distance.

Average speed = Distance/Time taken
The speed equation calculates average speed over a distance, not instantaneous speed at a specific moment in time. Instantaneous speed requires measuring an object's speed at a single point in time, whereas the speed equation provides an average speed over a given distance.
