Calculating Speed (OCR GCSE Physics A (Gateway Science Suite)): Flashcards

$\text{speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

metres (m)

metres per second (m/s)

seconds (s)

$v$

$d$

$t$

Find total distance and total time, then apply the formula

$\text{average speed} = \frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}$
