What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means traveling the same distance in equal intervals of time, without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

How do you calculate distance when speed is constant?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time. For example, if a car travels at 60 miles per hour for 2 hours, the distance is 60 × 2 = 120 miles.
