The formula for average speed is?
Average speed over a period of time = (distance covered in a period of time) divided by (time it took to cover the distance).
What is the distance traveled over a period of time?
It is the product (multiplication) of the average speed and the time interval.
When are speed and average speed the same?
Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.
Is speed per hour same as average speed?
No. if you are accelerating from rest, for example, and reach 80 mph starting from 0, your average velocity is 40 mph, but your speed is 80 mph at the end. Generally we speak of average speed, so if it takes one hour to go 60 miles your average speed is 60 mph, even though you may have slowed and then gone faster at certain times.
