Speed is a combination of the distance travelled in a given amount of time.
You can use any unit of distance and any unit of time. Choosing the units most applicable to the situation.
Most people are familiar with the units miles or kilometres per hour. Feet or metres per second.
Light speed is usually measured in kilometres or miles per second.
The growth of a stalagmite may be measured in inches per century

How can you get speed of an object from its distance-time graph?
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
What is your speed if you travel 10 kilometers in 2.5 hours?
As speed is ratio of distance and time...therefore upon calculating, you will get speed of 4 Km per hour.
How does a softball player use math?
By calculating the the speed and the amount of power you put into hitting the ball will determine the distance the ball will travel
What are the three formulas for the speed triangle?
Speed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*Time
What equation represents the relationship between the time and distance you walk at a constant rate and what are the dependent and independent variables?
At a constant rate: distance = time x speed Since you are calculating the distance based on the other two numbers, I would say that distance is the dependent variable (it is based on the values of the other variables).
What is the formula for calculating distance when speed and time are known?
Distance = speed x time
What is the formula ffor calculating speed?
Speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance)
What is is the equation for calculating average speed?
Speed= distance over time. :)
How is speed measured?
Speed is measured by calculating the distance you have gone and how long it took you to get there. speed = distance over time
What is the equation used for calculating average speed?
Speed= distance over time. :)
How do you write calculating average speed in words?
Distance equals speed divided by time. Speed equals distance divided by time. Time equals distance divided by speed
The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are?
Distance covered (S) and the total time it took to cover that distance (T). Then the average speed V = S/T which is distance per time, known as speed.
How can you get speed of an object from its distance-time graph?
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed?
distance and time
What is formula is used to calculate speed?
Speed is calculated as distance divided by time. The formula for calculating speed is: Speed = Distance / Time
What is the formula for calculating speed....and What is the Unit?
Velocity= Distance/ Time Unit= m/s
What is the speed of sound waves?
It's found the calculating the distance it went and dividing it by the time it took.
