In this video, we will look at the basic principles of calculating vehicle's speed. It is an important concept for every driver and also for those interested in the physics of motion. Today we will focus on how we can use time and distance traveled to determine the speed of a vehicle.
What is the speed of the vehicle:
Before we start with the calculations, let's briefly recall what the speed of the vehicle means. Vehicle speed is the rate of change of vehicle position per time interval. This means how fast the vehicle is moving.
How speed is measured:
There are several ways to measure vehicle speed, but one of the most basic is to use time and distance traveled. This means that we will have to take the time it took the vehicle to travel a certain distance and calculate its speed based on that.
Mathematical formula for calculating speed: Speed = Distance / Time
