If a car travels a distance of 420 meters in 30 seconds, then its speed is given as below:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559737&quot;:216,&quot;335559738&quot;:216}\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559737&quot;:216,&quot;335559738&quot;:216}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Constant_speed\"><\/span>What is Constant speed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When the speed of an object remains the same, that is, it does not increase or decrease, it is said to be moving at a Constant speed. It means that the speed of the object at any point in time is constant.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, if an object is moving at a constant speed of 10 meters per second along a straight-line path, at any point on the path its speed will be equal to 10 meters per second. It also implies that the object will cover equal distances in equal intervals of time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559737&quot;:216,&quot;335559738&quot;:216}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Average_speed\"><\/span>What is Average speed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Average speed is defined as the total distance covered by an object over the total time taken. Let us understand this concept in detail with the help of an example If a car travelled a distance of 20 km in 4 hours, its speed will be 5 km\/hr. But this does not mean that the car traveled at a constant speed of 5 km every hour. The car could have started slowly initially and then picked up speed. This means the speed of the car is not uniform all through the distance traveled. So in other words, the speed 5 km\/hr is the average speed of the car.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559737&quot;:216,&quot;335559738&quot;:216}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Instantaneous_speed\"><\/span>What is Instantaneous speed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular moment in time. For example, when the indicator of a car reads 30 kilometers per hour it means that at that moment in time, the car is traveling at 30 kilometers per hour. It does not mean that the car has been traveling at this speed or will travel at this speed. The value is only at that instant. And that is why the pointer is never really constant in the speedometer. It keeps fluctuating.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559737&quot;:216,&quot;335559738&quot;:216}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table table-bordered table-striped\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #89cff0; color: black;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Also Check<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/average-speed-formula\/\"><strong>Average Speed Formula<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/average-velocity-formula\/\"><strong>Average Velocity Formula<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/work-formula\/\"><strong>Work Formula<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/displacement-formula\/\"><strong>Displacement Formula<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solved_Examples_on_Distance_Speed_Time_Formula\"><\/span>Solved Examples on Distance Speed Time Formula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Example 1: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A car travels a distance of 300 kilometers in 5 hours.
