Concept of Speed

Speed is the rate of motion or how fast something moves. It's symbol can be kmph, km/h, or mph

It is calculated simply with the formula Distance x Time. For example, if a van travelled 35km in half an hour, it's travelling speed is 70 km/h.

Speed can likewise be used to find a certain distance or time. For example, if a fighter jet used on national day flew for 12 minutes at 2000km/h across Singapore, the distance it flew is 12/60*2000km which is 1/5*2000km which is 400km!

This is just about what speed is about.
