To calculate speed in meters per second (m/s), you need to know the distance traveled in meters and the time taken in seconds. The formula for calculating speed is:
Speed = distance ÷ time
For example, let's say you run a distance of 200 meters and it takes you 25 seconds. To calculate your speed in meters per second, you would use the formula as follows:
Speed = distance ÷ time speed = 200 meters ÷ 25 seconds speed = 8 meters per second
Therefore, your speed would be 8 m/s. It's important to make sure that the units of distance and time are consistent, so if the distance is in kilometers and the time is in minutes, you would need to convert one or both units to meters and seconds before using the formula.
