Questions and Answers

What is speed?

  • The rate at which distance changes (correct)
  • The total distance traveled

  • The total time taken to travel a distance

    • How is average speed calculated?

  • Dividing total distance by total time (correct)
  • Multiplying total distance by total time
  • Adding total distance and total time
  • Subtracting total distance from total time

  • 125 miles per hour
  • 50 miles per hour (correct)
  • 75 miles per hour
