Speed vs Velocity: Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only). Velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude + direction). In most physics problems, the formula v = d/t applies to both when direction is fixed.

Distance (d) = Speed (v) × Time (t)

Enter speed and time to calculate distance

SUVAT equations: v = u + at · s = ut + ½at² · v² = u² + 2as · s = (u+v)/2 × t. These four equations cover all uniform acceleration problems in physics.

How to solve velocity, speed, distance and time problems

All speed, distance and time problems are based on one triangle — three variables, three formulas. Cover the variable you want to find, and the remaining two show how to calculate it.

How to calculate speed

Divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Speed = Distance ÷ Time (v = d / t)

Example: A car travels 120 km in 2 hours. What is its speed? Speed = 120 ÷ 2 = 60 km/h
In m/s: 60 ÷ 3.6 = 16.67 m/s

How to calculate distance

Multiply the speed by the total time of travel.

Distance = Speed × Time (d = v × t)

Example: A train moves at 80 km/h for 3.5 hours. How far does it travel? Distance = 80 × 3.5 = 280 km

How to calculate time

Divide the total distance by the speed.

Time = Distance ÷ Speed (t = d / v)

Example: A cyclist covers 45 km at 15 km/h. How long does it take? Time = 45 ÷ 15 = 3 hours

How to convert km/h to m/s

To convert kilometres per hour to metres per second, divide by 3.6.

m/s = km/h ÷ 3.6

Example: Convert 90 km/h to m/s 90 ÷ 3.6 = 25 m/s

How to convert m/s to km/h

To convert metres per second to kilometres per hour, multiply by 3.6.

km/h = m/s × 3.6

Example: Convert 20 m/s to km/h 20 × 3.6 = 72 km/h

Key velocity & motion formulas

Speed

v = d / t

Speed equals distance divided by time. The most fundamental motion equation.

Distance

d = v × t

Distance equals speed multiplied by time. Used to find how far an object travels.

Time

t = d / v

Time equals distance divided by speed. Used to find how long a journey takes.

Acceleration

a = (v−u) / t

Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by time. v = final, u = initial.

SUVAT — 1

v = u + at

Final velocity equals initial velocity plus acceleration times time.

SUVAT — 2

s = ut + ½at²

Displacement equals initial velocity times time plus half acceleration times time squared.

SUVAT — 3

v² = u² + 2as

Final velocity squared equals initial velocity squared plus 2 times acceleration times displacement.

Average Speed

v_avg = (u+v)/2

Average velocity equals the sum of initial and final velocities divided by 2.

Symbol	Quantity	SI Unit	Description
v	Velocity / Speed	m/s	Rate of change of position
u	Initial Velocity	m/s	Speed at the start of motion
a	Acceleration	m/s²	Rate of change of velocity
s / d	Displacement / Distance	m	Distance traveled in a direction
t	Time	s (seconds)	Duration of motion
g	Gravitational acceleration	9.81 m/s²	Free fall acceleration on Earth
