What is the formula to calculate speed?

Distance divided by time
Time divided by distance
Mass times acceleration
Force divided by area

The correct answer is: Distance divided by time

Speed is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance. This means that the speed formula is distance divided by time, which is option A. Option B is incorrect because it states time divided by distance, which would give the units of speed as inverse speed (1/s). Option C is incorrect because it is the formula for calculating force, not speed. Option D is incorrect because it is the formula for pressure, not speed.
