How many ways are there to calculate speed?

There are different ways of calculating speed. First, it is very easy to calculate speed when the values for distance and time are given. For example, if a car travels through a distance of 100 meters in 20 seconds, then the answer to this question can be calculated by using the formula; Speed = distance/time. Here the distance is 100m and the time is the 20s, so by dividing 100 by 20, you have 5 m/s as the speed. Speed is measured in meter per second (m/s).

This means if the distance is measured in kilometer and time is measured in an hour, then you will need to convert your final answer to meter/second (meters/second). At times, the values for speed and time will be provided, and you will be asked to determine the value for distance. In this case, you rearrange the formula to get something like this; Distance= speed x time. Let's use the figure above. Speed=5, time=20. Then, Distance=5 x 20= 100 meters.

There are three ways in which speed can be determined. Each of them is mathematically calculated. The first way to the standard speed equation. With this method, the distance that the object traveled is calculated by the time that it took the object to arrive at the destination. With this equation, there are two determined points the starting and ending point.

Time and distance are then divided to come up with the speed. Second would be the time. How long did it take the object to go from point A to point B? The third is to determine distance and time, then divide to arrive at the answer. All three of these estimations are very close and could be seen as the same equation, but they are not. The three determined calculations help arrive at precise and constant speeds.
