- How fast do you walk?
- How fast does a car or a light beam travel?
- How long would it take to get to the moon using your feet,
a car, or light beam?
The answers to these questions can be solved with an equation for
calculating speed. To find the speed of a moving object, you must know
two things about the object:
- the distance it traveled
- the length of time it took to travel that distance
The distance is then divided by the
time. Another way to look at it is with the formula:
You will be using this formula to calculate the winners in a snowmobile
race.
