Time =
...(i)Speed =
...(ii)Distance = Speed × Time ...(iii)
Distance is measured in metres, kilometres and miles.
Time in hours, minutes and seconds.
Speed in km/h, miles/h and m/s.
1. To convert speed of an object from km/h to m/s multiply the speed by . 5/18
2. To convert speed of an object from m/s to km/h, multiply the speed by . 18/5
Average Speed
