You can calculate a speed by dividing a distance by the time it takes to cover that distance. If you want the instantaneous speed (for situations of variable speed), you need to calculate the distance and time for a fairly short time interval (ideally, the limit, when the time approaches zero).

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 10 meters?

The speed of a wave is determined by its wavelength and frequency. The formula to calculate wave speed is speed = wavelength x frequency. Without knowing the frequency of the wave, we cannot determine the exact speed.


Is it easier to calculate speed or average speed?

I'm sure that average speed would be easier to calculate than instantaneous speed. To calculate average speed, just take the time that it takes to travel between two points, and divide that into the distance between the points.

Why can you only calculate a stone's average speed during its fall?

That is just not true! If you can calculate its average speed you should be able to calculate its speed at any point in time during its flight, including its final velocity.


How do you calculate speed when you have the force mass and acceleration?

You can calculate speed by dividing the force by the mass to get acceleration, and then multiplying the acceleration by time. Speed = acceleration x time.


How do you calculate force if you only have speed?

To calculate force when given speed, you would need to know the mass of the object. The equation that relates force, speed, and mass is F = m*a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration (change in speed over time). Without knowing the mass or acceleration, it is not possible to calculate the force.


What formula is used to calculate motion?
