Speed, Time and Distance Quicknotes

Speed Time and Distance is a part of our study since school time but still, students get confused while solving the questions. This page will provide you the easiest way to How to Solve Speed Distance and Time questions quickly along with the help of some Solved Examples. Before solving the question, we have to know about the exact definitions of Speed Time and Distance.

Speed:

Speed can be defined as how quickly an object moves from one place to another.

Formula for speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Or it can be written as, speed = $\frac{d}{t}$

Time:

Time is defined as distance divided by speed.

Formula for time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Or it can be written as, $\frac{d}{s}$

Distance:

Area covered by an object from moving one place to another in a uniform speed and time is known as Distance.

Formula for distance = speed x time

Or it can be written as , s × t
