How speed determined?

Answer 1

formula is d=rt (memonic dirt)

Therefore rate = distance/time

Speed = distance / time

Example if you are traveling between two points that are exactly one mile apart. How fast you get there is determined by the the speed you travel

Answer 2

Speed is a quantity in physics that represents how fast an object is moving. Its dimension is meters per second. As such it says how many meters an object moves each second.

To calculate it just take the distance traveled by an object and divide it by the time it took the object to travel that distance.

A simply example: Imagine that a car took 1 minute to travel 100 meters, its speed would be 100 / (1*60) = 1.67 meters/second.

Answer 3

The beam of light plays a major role in the speed of light.

The speed of any wave is determined by the characteristics of the medium

through which it's traveling. In the case of electromagnetic radiation, including

light, the medium is vacuum, and the relevant electrical characteristics are the

static permittivity and magnetic permeability. The reciprocal of the square root

of their product is the speed of light. The number was known long before the

speed of light could be measured. When it finally was, the close correlation

confirmed the hypothetical suspicion that light is electromagnetic radiation.

Answer 4

The speed ... whether of an object or of a disturbance in the Force ...

is computed as follows:

-- Measure the distance traveled by the entity.

-- Measure the time consumed by the entity in traveling the distance.

-- Divide the distance covered by the time to cover the distance.

The quotient is the average speed during that time.

As the time of interest is made shorter and shorter, the result of the

computaion approaches closer and closer to an instantaneous speed.

Answer 5

Speed is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to cover that distance. It is a measure of how quickly an object is moving in a particular direction. Speed can be expressed in various units such as meters per second, kilometers per hour, or miles per hour.
