Time, Speed and Distance Calculator

Example 1
?A car travels 300km in 6 hours. What is the speed of the car
300 km 6
Answer:
=

Speed = distance time

= 300km 6 hours

Speed = 300km 6 hours

= 50km/hr
How to convert speed units

Speed = 50km/hr

t = d/v

V = d/t
V = d/t

) ( 1- State the symbol, metric units and their abbreviations for:

a distance: d.,m - km
b time: t.,s - h - min
c speed: S.,m/s -- km/h

) ( 2-State the meaning of the term speed.

S=dt

D=SXt

T=d S

) ( 3- Identify the formula used to calculate:

S=dt

a average speed :

D=SXt

b distance:

4-For the motions shown in next figure calculate:

) (i the distance traveled
2 km + 2km + 1km + 3km + 7km + 5 km = 20 km

T = d S = 200 5 = 4 s

What is the speed of a rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds?
12.12 s 9000 m
S = d t = 9000 12.12 = 742.57 m/s
6 m/s 3

How far (in meters) will you travel in 3 minutes running at a rate of 6 m/s?
D = S X t= 6 X 3 X60 = 1080 m
