- Solving for: Speed
Equation: speed = distance / time
Substitute (work): speed = (2.5 m + 1.5 m) / 0.5 s = 4.0 m / 0.5 s
Answer w/ units: 8.0 m/s
- Solving for: Time
Equation: time = distance / velocity
Substitute (work): time = 12 km / 6.5 km/h
Answer w/ units: 1.85 h
- Solving for: Average speed
Equation: average speed = total distance / total time
Substitute (work): average speed = 1425 km / 12.5 h
Answer w/ units: 114 km/h
- Solving for: Average speed
Equation: average speed = distance / time
Substitute (work): average speed = 500 km / 5 h
Answer w/ units: 100 km/h
- Solving for: Time
Equation: time = distance / speed
Substitute (work): time = 90 km / 30 km/s
Answer w/ units: 3.0 s
- Solving for: Distance
Equation: distance = speed × time
Substitute (work): distance = 35 m/s × 5 s
Answer w/ units: 175 m
- Solving for: Distance
Equation: distance = speed × time
Substitute (work): distance = 65 km/h × 7 h
Answer w/ units: 455 km
