What is the formula for calculating speed?
Speed = distance ÷ time
This formula expresses the relationship between speed, distance, and time.
What is the formula for calculating distance?
Distance = speed × time
This formula allows one to determine the distance traveled based on speed and time.
What is the formula for calculating time?
Time = distance ÷ speed
This formula is used to find the time taken for a journey based on distance and speed.
What does the symbol V mean
V represents speed
What does the symbol ‘S’ represent?
S represents distance
In physics, ‘S’ is commonly used as the variable for distance.
What does the symbol ‘T’ represent?
T represents time
In physics, ‘T’ is commonly used as the variable for time.
If a vehicle travels at 250 m/s, how far will it travel in 6 seconds?
Distance = 250 m/s × 6 s = 1500 m
This calculation uses the distance formula to find the total distance traveled.
True or False: Forces moving to the left are considered positive.
False
In this context, forces moving to the right are considered positive.
How many seconds are in one hour?
3600 seconds
This is a standard conversion for time measurement.
Fill in the blank: Speed = _______ ÷ time.
distance
This is a fundamental equation in kinematics.
What is the speed if the distance is 4565 meters and the time is 20.43 seconds?
Speed = 4565 ÷ 20.43 = 223.5 m/s
This calculation demonstrates how to find speed using the distance and time values.
Fill in the blank: Distance = speed × _______.
time
This equation is used to compute the distance traveled based on speed and time.
