Formula for Speed, Time and Distance

  • When speed is constant, time taken by the object is precisely proportional to the distance covered.
  • When time is persistent, distance covered is precisely proportional to speed at which the object is moving.
  • When the distance and continuous speed is inversely relative to the time taken, i.e. if speed increases, the time taken to cover the distance decreases.
  • If two substances are heading in the similar direction through speeds p and q, then their relative speed is |p – q|
  • If two substances are heading in the contradictory direction by speeds p and q, then their relative speed is (p + q)
  • If the speed is given in the form of harmonic progression, then time will be in arithmetic progression.
  • If the speed is given in arithmetic progression, then the time taken will be harmonic progression.
