Speed (Edexcel GCSE Maths): Flashcards

How fast something moves; distance travelled in specific time

Total distance ÷ total time

$S = \frac{D}{T}$

$T = \frac{D}{S}$

$D = S \times T$

m/s, km/h, mph

Divide by 60

$\frac{3}{4}$ hour

Scalar (has magnitude only, no direction)

D (Distance), S (Speed), T (Time)

Cover what you want to find; position shows the formula

Units in answer depend on units used in formula
