Joule

Newton

100

A motion graph shows-

the objects path at given times and distances

100

A simple machine helps-

reduce force needed to work
100

the total distance traveled by an object over a total amount of time

Average Speed

100

Which is the formula for calculating average speed?

Average speed= total volume/total mass

Average speed=total time/ total distance

Average speed= total mass * total acceleration

Average speed= total distance/ total time 

Average speed= total distance/total time
