How do we calculate speed
Speed is by dividing distance covered by an object by time
The unit for Speed is m/s
The unit for speed can also depend on the units for distance you are given in a question.
16
Calculate the Speed of the object when it travels 2 hours
Distance: 2 km
Time 2 Hours
Speed = Distance/Time
Speed= 2km/2hr
Speed = 1km/hr

Multiple Choice
What is the Speed of the object as it travels 10 km?
23
Did you Notice?
A straight line in a distance/time graph means......
The object is traveling at a constant speed
24
“Constant speed” means an object is moving at the same speed throughout.
