Example

An object travels 6 meters in 2 seconds. What is its speed?

Answer: 3 m/s

RememberSpeed, distance and time

dstspeed = distance ÷ timedistance = speed × timetime = distance ÷ speedCover what you want to find.
  1. 1

    A cyclist rides at 15 m/s for 7 seconds. How far does she travel?

    v = 15 m/sd = ?t = 7 s
  2. 2

    A runner covers 77 meters at a steady 11 m/s. How many seconds does it take?

    v = 11 m/sd = 77 mt = ?
  3. 3

    An object travels 15 meters in 5 seconds. What is its speed?

    v = ?d = 15 mt = 5 s
  4. 4

    A cyclist rides at 2 m/s for 10 seconds. How far does she travel?

    v = 2 m/sd = ?t = 10 s
  5. 5

    A runner covers 90 meters at a steady 15 m/s. How many seconds does it take?

    v = 15 m/sd = 90 mt = ?
  6. 6

    A cyclist rides at 10 m/s for 3 seconds. How far does she travel?

    v = 10 m/sd = ?t = 3 s
  7. 7

    A runner covers 27 meters at a steady 3 m/s. How many seconds does it take?

    v = 3 m/sd = 27 mt = ?
  8. 8

    A runner covers 40 meters at a steady 8 m/s. How many seconds does it take?

    v = 8 m/sd = 40 mt = ?
  9. 9

    A runner covers 63 meters at a steady 7 m/s. How many seconds does it take?

    v = 7 m/sd = 63 mt = ?
  10. 10

    A cyclist rides at 13 m/s for 7 seconds. How far does she travel?

    v = 13 m/sd = ?t = 7 s
  11. 11

    A runner covers 12 meters at a steady 4 m/s. How many seconds does it take?

    v = 4 m/sd = 12 mt = ?
  12. 12

    A runner covers 30 meters at a steady 6 m/s. How many seconds does it take?

    v = 6 m/sd = 30 mt = ?
