Question:
Which of the following equation correctly represents speed?
Which of the following equation correctly represents speed?
Show Hint
Remember, speed is calculated by dividing the distance by the time taken to travel that distance.
Updated On: Feb 15, 2025
- Speed = Time/Distance
- Speed = Distance × Time
- Speed = Distance/Time
- Speed = 1/(Distance × Time)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Speed is defined as the distance travelled per unit of time. The correct equation for speed is:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
