Speed

The speed of a body tells us how fast it moves. Thus if a body goes 10 meters in 2 seconds then its speed will be 5 meters per second.

Suppose we use the symbol s for speed. Then we would write s = 5 m/s

Formula for speed

If a body goes a distance d in time t, then its speed is

<i>s</i> = <i>d</i>/<i>t</i>
