Question

When calculating speed, are you calculating the fastest speed, average speed, or slowest speed?

Answer 1

Speed tells us how fast something or someone is traveling. You can find the average speed of an object if you know the distance travelled and the time it took. The formula for speed is speed = distance ÷ time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Doubling one's speed would mean doubling one's distance traveled in a given amount of time. ... In order to calculate the speed of an object we must know how far it's gone and ... The slowest speeds are measured over the longest time periods.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Average speed.

Explanation: While calculating speed, we take the total distance divided by the total time taken.

Example: An object took 6 minutes to cover 30 meters. To calculate the average speed we need to do the following:

Distance/Time= Average speed

30/6=5

Therefore the average speed is 5 m/s.
