You need to time its movement over a known distance.
For example, movement over 100 metres, in 10 seconds gives a speed of
100 (metres) [divided by] 10 (seconds) .
= 100/10
Divide that out = 10 metres per second.
For example a car travels 10 miles in 10 minutes.
Speed is therefore 10/10 = 1 mile per minute.
You have to make the minutes into a measurement of hours to make sense of it to a layman.
To get from 10 minutes up to an hour, you need to multiply by 6.
10 mins x 6 = 60 minutes in an hour, see.
So in an hour, you have to multiply the distance the car travels by 6 as well.
10 miles x 6 . = 60 miles.
So speed is 60 miles / 1 hour = 60 miles an hour.
speed = distance / time, that's the most basic formula that uses two things to get value for speed
Most things don't move with the same speed at all times
speed, time, distance
To find speed, you need to know the distance traveled and the time taken to cover that distance. Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.
It is a bit hard to answer your question, as it lacked of a few things: Total Distance or total time, the distance which the speed(answer) is in or the amount of time the person travels with the speed(answer).
|v| = sqrt( 2 * KE / m ), with |v| being speed.
Speed and force are quite different things.
No. Speed and time are different things.
no
Speed
it depends on what speed you are going, if you find out the speed then divide the distance by the speed to find your answer
positive acceleration is when things speed up; negative acceleration is when things slow down; and zero acceleration is when things do not speed up or slow down, this is called constant speed, or no change in velocity.
