Question

we calculate speed using the formula.
speed = distance/time.
velocity is speed in a given direction.
acceleration can occur when an object speeds up, slows down or a has a change in direction.

choose the correct answer.

what is the mathematical equation to calculate speed?

speed = distance/time
speed = distance + time
speed = distance x time

Explanation:

The text above the question states the formula for speed is \( \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \). By comparing with the options, the first option matches this formula.

Answer:

A. Speed = distance/time
