Question

How do you calculate average speed?

Answer 1

`\huge \boxed{S=(d)/(t) }`

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Explanation:

Speed is the rate at which an object covers a distance in a period of time.

The formula to find speed is as follows:

`\Longrightarrow \ \ \displaystyle \sf speed =(distance \ travelled )/(time \ taken)`

`\Longrightarrow \ \ \displaystyle S =(d )/(t)`

You divide the distance travelled by the time taken to find the speed.

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Answer 2

Divide
(the distance covered in some period of time)
by
(the time taken to cover the distance).

The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.
