Detailed explanation-1: -Speed is defined as. The rate of change of position of an object in any direction. Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered. Speed is a scalar quantity as it has only direction and no magnitude.
Detailed explanation-2: -Speed = Distance/Time – This tells us how slow or fast an object moves. It describes the distance travelled divided by the time taken to cover the distance. Speed is directly Proportional to Distance and Inversely proportional to Time. Hence, Distance = Speed X Time, and.
Detailed explanation-3: -The quantity which tells the distance an object travels in a certain time is called speed.
Detailed explanation-4: -A distance-time graph shows how far an object has travelled in a given time. It is a simple line graph that denotes distance versus time findings on the graph. Distance is plotted on the Y-axis.
Detailed explanation-5: -To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time. To solve for time use the formula for time, t = d/s which means time equals distance divided by speed.
