How To Compute Speed?

Speed = distance ÷ time

Use consistent units for distance and time

Common units: m/s, km/h, mph

If distance is in meters and time in seconds, speed is in m/s

If distance is in kilometers and time is in hours, speed is in km/h

Rearranged formulas:

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance ÷ speed

Example: 100 m ÷ 20 s = 5 m/s
