Sample Flashcards
What is average speed?
Average Speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time
Not the mean of individual speeds — you must use the overall distance and overall time.
What is the formula for time?
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
(T = D ÷ S)
Sample Questions
Which formula correctly shows the relationship between speed (S), distance (D), and time (T)?
A car travels at 30 km/h for 2 hours, then at 90 km/h for 1 hour. The mean of the two speeds is (30 + 90) ÷ 2 = 60 km/h. Explain why the average speed for the journey is NOT 60 km/h.
