How do we measure the speed of a moving object?

  • 1

We measure the speed of a moving object by dividing the total distance traveled by the time taken. Speed is calculated using the formula: speed = distance ÷ time, and it is usually expressed in units like meters per second.

  1. The speed of a moving object is measured by determining the total distance it travels and dividing that distance by the time it takes to cover it. The formula for speed is speed = distance ÷ time. Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it only considers magnitude and not direction. It’s commonly expressed in units like meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h). This measurement helps us understand how fast an object is moving over a given period.
