Malcolm and his lab group measured the time it took for a toy car to travel 5 meters. They found that the car took 3.2 seconds to travel the 5 meters. They reported the following measurement in their lab data table: The car had a(n) **speed** of $1.6m/s$.<br /><br />Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. It is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to travel that distance. In this case, the car traveled 5 meters in 3.2 seconds, so its speed is $5m / 3.2s = 1.6m/s$.
