what is speed, how is speed calculated?
Answers
Explanation:
For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is. Same calculation.
Answer: Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. ... An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.
To calculate the speed of an object divide the distance the object travels by the amount of time it takes to travel the distance. Can be written as speed=distance/time (s=d/t ). The speed equation consists of a unit of distance divided by a unit of time. You just studied 27 terms!
