What to Focus On
- Speed = Distance ÷ Time
- Distance = Speed × Time
- Time = Distance ÷ Speed
- km/h to m/s: Multiply by 5/18
- m/s to km/h: Multiply by 18/5
- Always check units of distance and time before calculating
- Uniform speed: Equal distances in equal time
- Variable speed: Unequal distances in equal time
- Speed changes if time or distance varies
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Speed is just distance divided by time — so any units can be used together.
To convert km/h to m/s, divide by 60 only because there are 60 seconds in a minute.
Average speed is just the average of two speeds, like (speed1 + speed2) ÷ 2.
Memory Tips
The basic formula: Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Distance = Speed × Time
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Units: km/h and m/s
