Answer: The formula used to calculate speed is distance divided by time.
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with respect to time.
The equation used to calculate speed of the object follows:
[tex]\text{Speed of the object}=\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time taken}}[/tex]
The S.I. unit of speed is meters per second (m/s)
For Example: A car traveled a distance of 200 meters in 5 second.
[tex]\text{Speed of the car}=\frac{200m}{5s}=40m/s[/tex]
Hence, the formula used to calculate speed is distance divided by time.
