Calculating Speed and Average Speed Explained

  • Speed can be calculated using the formula speed = distance/time, which can be easily computed using a speedometer or calculator. The unit of speed is discussed, with C representing centimeter, G for gram, and S for second in the CGS unit system.
  • To find average speed, total distance covered is divided by total time taken, with the unit of speed typically measured in kilometers per hour (km/hr) or meters per second (m/s). The total distance covered is the sum of all individual distances traveled.
