Speed, Distance, and Time (Leaving Cert Mathematics): Flashcards

How fast something moves; the rate at which distance is covered over time

How far you travel from one point to another

How long a journey takes

$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

$\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}$

$\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Total distance travelled divided by total time taken

$\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}$

Steady movement at constant speed

Rest periods (no movement)

Faster speeds

$\frac{\text{Distance Travelled}}{\text{Time Taken}}$
