   Word Problems & Strategy Chapter: Uniform Motion
Table of Contents  
 

The distance, D, that the object will travel in time, T, depends on the velocity, V. It is expressed mathematically as:

D = VT

NOTE: Units must match. If we desire the distance in miles, we usually express the velocity in miles per hour (mph) and time in hours. If the distance is in kilometers, then the velocity would usually be in kilometers per hour (kph).

Example (easy)

A biker travels 60 miles in 2.5 hours. Determine the biker's average speed.
