Equation:
average speed=total time takentotal distance travelled
Where:
\text{average speed}: average speed (m s⁻¹)
\text{total distance travelled}: total distance travelled (m)
\text{total time taken}: total time taken (s)
Note: Used to calculate the overall speed over a journey, irrespective of direction changes. It is a scalar quantity.
