PHYSICS - Forces - Speed Distance Time

The video explores the concept of speed by comparing Usain Bolt's sprinting speed to that of a Formula One car. It explains how to calculate speed using the formula: speed equals distance divided by time. Usain Bolt's speed is calculated as 10.44 meters per second, while the Formula One car's speed is converted from 375 kilometers per hour to 104.2 meters per second. The video emphasizes the importance of using consistent units for comparison and introduces the formula triangle for calculating speed, distance, and time. Practice questions are provided to reinforce the concepts.
