Speed x Time x Distance Flashcards
1
Q
What’s the formula for distance?
A
speed * time = distance
2
Q
What’s the formula for speed?
A
distance/time = speed
3
Q
What’s the formula for time?
A
distance/speed = time
4
Q
What’s an important thing to watch out for when using speed, time, and distance formulas?
A
Having consistency of all the units (ex. if speed is in mph, then distance must be miles and time must be hours
5
Q
What’s the formula for average speed?
A
average speed = total distance travelled/total travel time = d₁ + d₂/t₁ + t₂, where t₁ = d₁ + r₁ and t₂ = d₂ + r₂
