units of speed = units of distance/units of time

Examples: miles per hour (mi/hr), meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/hr).

How do you get velocity when time in seconds is 0.1 and distance is 8?

velocity=distance/time for uniform velocity. You need units for both the time and the distance to get a correct answer. Example: the speed limit is 65 miles/hour

I am not at all sure what you mean; you might use four different speed units for example.


What is an example of a derived unit?

One example of a derived unit is the unit of force. Also, the Newton unit is also another prime example of a derived unit.


What is the formula for speed and what is an example of speed in SI units?

One formula for speed is:Speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).The SI unit of speed is meter/second.


What are the steps to find the distance and the displacement at the end of 2minutes 20s?

If you assume a constant speed, you need to multiply the speed by the time, to get the distance. You would also need to convert all the units to compatible units - for example, the time to minutes, and the speed to kilometers/minute; or the time to hours, and the speed to kilometers/hour.


What are the units for rotational speed?

the units for rotational speed are radians / sec or degrees / sec


Method of properly expressing measured numbers?

Every measurement needs a value and standard unit. For example, if a person says that he is five four tall, the units are implied (if in the United States, it is generally understood that this is 5 feet and 4 inches, or 64 inches. Any measurements that are made, must include units. Also, this will help if any mathematical functions are performed with the measurements, as it will be evident if the answer is not in the correct dimension / unit. For example, when finding the time it takes, to travel a certain distance at a certain speed, do you divide by speed or multiply? If the units are kept, it will be evident that division is necessary for the units to come out so that the answer has the dimension of time.


Is what units is speed expressed?

The official unit for speed is meters/second. Any other combination of units, where you divide distance/time, may also be used. One such unit that is commonly used is kilometers/hour. Some units used for speed don't explicitly reference distance and time; for example, a certain fraction of the speed of light in a vacuum, or the unit called "knots" which is used for ships.


Which is the functional unit of the metric system?

I have no idea what you mean with "functional unit". The SI has units to measure lots of different things; basically there are seven base units (such as the meter, the second, and the kilogram), and several dozen derived units, i.e., units derived from the base units, for example meters/second for speed.


E equals mc2 what does the c stand for?

E=MC2The E represents the units of energyThe M represents the units of massThe C Represents the Speed of LightE=MC2 means Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. Although this is not 100% correct it is very close!
