Answer 1

Answer:

The distance covered by a moving body in unit time is known as 'speed'. speed = distance/time.

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance covered by a body in unit time is known as its Speed

Explanation:

• The distance travelled by a body in a unit time is speed.
• But, the displacement (shortest distance) covered by a body in a unit time is known as its Velocity.
• Although both have the same unit i.e. m/s or km/hr they both have different meanings.

In short,

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Example:

Suppose a car travels 20 metres in 2 seconds then its speed is said to be 20/2 = 10 m/sec
