Core relations & conversions
| Speed | Speed = Distance ÷ Time |
|---|---|
| Distance | Distance = Speed × Time |
| km/h → m/s | multiply by 5/18 |
| m/s → km/h | multiply by 18/5 |
| Fixed distance | Speed ∝ 1/Time (inverse) |
CAT power-tools
| Average speed | Total distance ÷ Total time |
|---|---|
| Equal distances, two speeds | 2xy/(x + y) |
| Relative speed (opposite) | s₁ + s₂ |
| Relative speed (same direction) | s₁ − s₂ |
| Race: A beats B by d metres | A finishes; B is d m behind at that instant |
