I need this for my physics exam in about 4 hours time..
like for calculation:
speed = what?
something like a formula.
thanks!! (:

Speed is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change of position, many times expressed as distance d moved per unit of time t.
Speed is a scalar quantity with dimensions distance/time; the equivalent vector quantity to speed is known as velocity. Speed is measured in the same physical units of measurement as velocity, but does not contain the element of direction that velocity has. Speed is thus the magnitude component of velocity.
In mathematical notation, it is simply:
v = d/t
where v=speed or velocity, d-distance & t=time taken to travel the distance

speed is distance travelled per unit time.
speed=distance/time

Speed is distance per unit time.
s = d / t
