Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?
A
Mass and time
B
Mass and distance
C
Temperature and mass
D
Distance and time
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The formula for speed is speed = distance ÷ time. To work out what the units are for speed, you need to know the units for distance and time. In this example, distance is in metres (m) and time is in seconds (s), so the units will be in metres per second (m/s).

Detailed explanation-2: -Speed is calculated by using the formula, speed= distance/time. Let us see which two units of measurement are necessary for describing the speed. The SI unit of distance is the meter and the SI unit of time is second. So, the SI unit of speed is meter per second.

Detailed explanation-3: -Distance is measured in units of length like meters, kilometers, miles and other units like feet or inches. Time is measured in seconds, minutes and hours. Speed is measured in distance per unit time, for example, meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/hour), or miles per hour.

Detailed explanation-4: -Slow-moving objects change their position slowly. But you can be more exact if you use numbers such as 20 kilometers per hour or 5 meters per second. To find an object’s speed, you need to measure two things-distance and time. Distance is how far an object traveled.
