Q

Speed that is not constant.

A

Average Speed

17
Q

Speed of the vehicle at the instant while reading the speedometer.

A

Instantaneous Speed

18
Q

Since speed is _________________________, speed is expressed in terms of the unit of distance and unit of time.

A

Speed is Distance divided by Time

(Distance / Time = Speed)

19
Q

Unit for Distance?

A

Meter

20
Q

Unit for Time?

A

Second

21
Q

Unit of Speed

A

Meters per second (m/s)

22
Q

Formula of Average Speed

A

Average Speed is equal to total distance over total time of travel.
