Speed, time and distance

This formula is used to calculate the distance $d$ traveled. It is found by multiplying the speed $v$ by the elapsed time $t$. For example, traveling at $60\text{ km/h}$ for $2$ hours covers a distance of $60 \times 2 = 120\text{ km}$.

This formula is used to calculate the speed $v$ of motion. It is determined by dividing the distance traveled $d$ by the time taken $t$. For example, covering $120\text{ km}$ in $2$ hours gives a speed of $120 \div 2 = 60\text{ km/h}$.

This formula is used to calculate the travel time $t$. It is determined by dividing the total distance $d$ by the speed $v$. For example, traveling $120\text{ km}$ at $60\text{ km/h}$ takes $120 \div 60 = 2$ hours.

This is an essential rule when calculating speed and distance. Always align the units of speed and time—such as pairing kilometers per hour with hours, or meters per minute with minutes—before computing.
