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.


s=(d)/(t)

s = speed

d = distance

t = time


\begin{gathered} d=st \\ d=29000\text{ m/s}\cdot10s \\ d=290000\text{ m} \end{gathered}

The distance would be 290,000 m
