What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?

• Mass and time
• Temperature and mass
• Mass and distance
• Distance and time

If you run around the football field (which is 2 miles) 3 times, what is your distance?

• 0 miles
• 3 miles
• 6 miles
• 9 miles

What is speed?

• how far you go

• absolute speed

• average speed
