How is speed defined in relation to distance?
How is speed defined in relation to distance?
Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with respect to time.
What is the formula to calculate average speed?
What is the formula to calculate average speed?
The formula for average speed is Total Distance divided by Total Time.
Why is displacement important in understanding motion?
Why is displacement important in understanding motion?

Study Notes
Motion
- Motion is a change in an object's position over time.
- Motion is described using displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time, and speed.
Description of Motion
- Motion describes the change in an object's position relative to its surroundings over time.
- Motion can be described using distance, displacement, and speed.
Speed
- Speed is the rate of change of distance.
- Formula: Speed = Distance / Time
- Units: Meters/Second (m/s)
Average Speed
- Average speed is the ratio of total distance covered to the total time taken.
- Formula: Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
- Units: Meters/Second (m/s)
