Study Notes

Speed of a Girl

Speed is typically expressed in units such as meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), or miles per hour (mph).

Equation Issues

The equation 'speed = 5 m/s 2' is incorrect because speed is a scalar quantity and should not have units of acceleration (m/s²). It should simply state speed as '5 m/s'.

Physical Quantity Components

A physical quantity consists of a numerical value and a unit, representing measurable attributes of an object or phenomenon (e.g., length, mass, time).

Calculating Speed

Speed is calculated using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time. This means if you know the total distance traveled and the time taken, you can determine the speed.

Unit of Speed

In the given context, the unit of speed is universally accepted as meters per second (m/s), which quantifies the distance traveled in meters over a time period in seconds.
