2. Unit Conversion of Speed

  • 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s.
  • 1 m/s = 18/5 km/h = 3.6 km/h.
  • To convert km/h into m/s, multiply by 5/18.

3. Solved Examples for Speed, Distance and Time

  • A direct speed calculation uses speed = distance / time.
  • A direct distance calculation uses distance = speed × time.
  • A direct time calculation uses time = distance / speed.

4. Average Speed

  • Average speed is found by dividing total distance by total time.
  • Average speed is not the simple average of separate speeds.
  • Different parts of a journey can have different distances and different times.
