FAQs

Question: What is the formula for calculating speed?
Answer: Speed is calculated using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time.

Question: How do I find the time taken for a journey?
Answer: Time can be found using the formula: Time = Distance / Speed.

Question: What is relative speed?
Answer: Relative speed is the speed of one object as observed from another moving object, calculated by adding or subtracting their speeds based on their direction.
