Motion: Speed, Velocity, Acceleration

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• Speed = time/distance
• Speed = distance/time
• Speed = distance x time
• Speed = time x distance
