Question

How do you calculate speed?

Answer 1

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.Aug 15, 2011

Answer 2

Speed is distance traveled over time, or
`(speed)/(time)`. That's also where you get kph and mph, meaning kilometers per hour and miles per hour respectively.
