Just use the basic formula for speed:
distance = speed x time
If we know the distance something has moved, and the time it took to move there, we can calculate average speed by dividing the distance by the time.If a truck went 60 miles in 2 hours, it averaged 60/2 miles per hour, or 30 miles per hour.
Let's think about how speed works. Speed is a measurement of the time it takes for an object to move any distance. The speed of vehicles in America is measured using miles per hour (MPH). What this means is that we are measuring how many miles a car can cover in an hour at it's current pace. For example: A train moving at 100mph can cover 100 miles in a single hour. Does this make sense?
The escalators move at the speeds of 31.07 miles per hour.
That means that every hour, you move 30 miles. The actual distance travelled depends on the time travelled: d = st (distance = speed x time).
In an hour you can move 3 miles. Not so fast.
multiply speed in miles per hour by time in hours
Positive velocity will move you 200 miles east in 4 hours traveling at a constant speed.
10 miles an hour
The speed of light is 670,616,628.6 miles per hour (mph).
Positive velocity will move you 200 miles east in 4 hours traveling at a constant speed.
If we know the distance something has moved, and the time it took to move there, we can calculate average speed by dividing the distance by the time.If a truck went 60 miles in 2 hours, it averaged 60/2 miles per hour, or 30 miles per hour.
The Earth rotates at a speed of approximately 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 kilometers per hour) at the equator. This rotational speed decreases as you move towards the poles.
The earth's circumference at the Equator is 24,902 miles. It makes a complete rotation in 24 hours, so divide the Equator's length by 24. The answer is that, at the Equator, the Earth rotates at 1,037 miles per hour.
Time = Distance/Speed = 15 miles / 30 miles an hour = 1/2 hours = 30 minutesHowever, tornadoes do not always move in a straight line so or the tornado may not hit that town.
In general, wind needs to be blowing at a speed of at least 3-5 miles per hour to move a person.
In general, wind needs to blow at a speed of at least 3-5 miles per hour to move a person.
Speed = distance/timeYou have been given the speed and time. You need to find distance. In order to determine the distance, you must rearrange the equation for speed by multiplying both sides of the equation by time, isolating distance. Then plug in your known values and solve for distance.Speed x time = distance47mph x 1/2h = 23.5 mi
