1. Speed, Distance, Time Basics

The fundamental equations of motion relate speed, distance, and time. These relationships are essential in physics, transportation planning, sports science, and everyday life.

2. How the Calculator Works

The calculator uses these basic equations:

Where:

• Speed — Rate of motion (e.g., km/h or m/s)
• Distance — Length of path traveled (e.g., km or m)
• Time — Duration of travel (e.g., hours or seconds)

3. Practical Applications

Details: These calculations are used in trip planning, athletic training, physics problems, transportation logistics, and many other fields where motion needs to be quantified.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

1. Select what you want to calculate (speed, distance, or time)
2. Enter the other two known values
3. Click "Calculate" to get the result
4. All values must be positive numbers

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses km for distance and hours for time by default, but you can use any consistent units (e.g., miles and hours, or meters and seconds).

Q2: How do I calculate average speed?
A: Use total distance divided by total time. For example, if you travel 150 km in 2 hours, average speed is 75 km/h.

Q3: What if I need to convert units?
A: Convert all values to consistent units before calculating. For example, convert minutes to hours (divide by 60) or miles to km (multiply by 1.609).

Q4: Can I calculate time in minutes?
A: Yes, but you'll need to convert minutes to hours (divide by 60) or adjust your speed units accordingly.

Q5: How accurate are these calculations?
A: The calculations are mathematically precise for constant speed. Real-world results may vary due to acceleration, deceleration, and other factors.
