Velocity (v) is a vector quantity that measures displacement (or change in position, Δs) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation v = Δs/Δt. Speed (or rate, r) is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled (d) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation r = d/Δt.

Rate of change in position, or speed, is equal to distance traveled divided by time. To solve for time, divide the distance traveled by the rate. For example, if Cole drives his car 45 km per hour and travels a total of 225 km, then he traveled for 225/45 = 5 hours.
Calculating distance given speed and time. In National 4 Maths use the distance, speed and time equation to calculate distance, speed and time by using corresponding units.
To find the speed of a moving object, we take the distance travelled by the object and divide it by the time it has taken to cover that distance. Thus, the formula for speed is: Speed = Distance ÷ Time. Let us see some examples to understand the concept.
Draw a formula triangle for speed, distance and time. Working clockwise from the top, enter D for distance, T for time and S for speed. Use the formula triangle to work out the correct...
Video. Discover how to work out the speed of an object. What is speed? Speed tells us how fast something or someone is travelling. You can find the average speed of an object if you know the...
To be successful, students must use the average speed equation to solve for average speed, for distance, and for time. Help is provided for each of the three difficulty levels. The built-in score-keeping makes this Concept Builder a perfect candidate for a classroom activity.
