Overview

In our daily lives, we often talk about how fast someone or something is moving. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of speed, distance, and time, and how they are related to each other. We learn how to calculate speed, find the distance travelled, or determine the time taken using simple for

Key Concepts

Speed is the distance covered by

Speed is the distance covered by a body in unit time. For example, if a car travels 60 km in 1 hour, its speed is 60 km/h. The formula is: Speed = Dis

Distance is the total path covered

Distance is the total path covered, and time is the duration taken. Using speed, we can find distance (Distance = Speed × Time) or time (Time = Distan

Speed can be measured in km/h

Speed can be measured in km/h (kilometre per hour) or m/s (metre per second). To convert km/h to m/s, multiply by 5/18. To convert m/s to km/h, multip

When a body covers equal distances

When a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it has uniform speed. If the distances differ, the speed is variable.

Average speed is the total distance

Average speed is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken. It does not mean the speed was constant throughout.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the meaning of speed, distance, and time.
  • Learn the relationship between speed, distance, and time.
  • Convert speed from one unit to another (e.g., km/h to m/s).
  • Solve problems involving uniform and variable speed.
  • Calculate average speed for a journey with different parts.
