Detailed explanation-1: -Speed = Distance Travelled/Time taken.
Detailed explanation-2: -Speed is a type of rate. A rate tells you the amount of something that occurs or changes in one unit of time. The SPEED EQUATION: To calculate the speed of an object, divide the distance the object travels by the amount of time it takes to travel that distance.
Detailed explanation-3: -If an object moves along a straight line, the distance travelled can be represented by a distance-time graph. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The greater the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.
Detailed explanation-4: -Speed tells us how fast something or someone is travelling. You can find the average speed of an object if you know the distance travelled and the time it took. The formula for speed is speed = distance รท time. To work out what the units are for speed, you need to know the units for distance and time.
