Distance-the change in an object’s position

To find an object’s speed, you need to measure two things.

Time-how long it takes the object to move through the distance.

Page 10: How is Motion  Described and Measured?

Speed is the distance traveled divided by the amount of time it took to get there.

You may have seen a radar gun used to measure speed at a baseball game.
