What does it mean to do speed?

  • Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path, while velocity is the rate and direction of an object's movement.
  • Put another way, speed is a scalar value, while velocity is a vector.

Runner I = 6 mph

Runner II = 7 mph

Difference in time= 90 minutes

Train A will have covered 9 miles before Runner II starts

catch up distance= 9 miles

catch up speed = 7-6 mph

catch up speed = 1 mph

Catchup time = catchup distance/catch up speed

catch up time= 9/1

catch up time= 9 hours
