Grade 10 Average Speed Worksheet

Grade 10 Average Speed Worksheet

Read each question carefully and show all your work. Remember that average speed is calculated as total distance divided by total time.

1. Average speed is defined as the total   divided by the total  .

2. If you travel 100 km in 2 hours, your average speed is   km/h.

3. To convert km/h to m/s, you multiply by   and divide by  .

1. A car travels 240 km in 3 hours. What is its average speed?

2. How far will a train travel in 4 hours if its average speed is 90 km/h?

1. A cyclist travels 60 km at an average speed of 20 km/h and then another 40 km at an average speed of 10 km/h. Calculate the overall average speed for the entire journey.

2. A car leaves city A at 8:00 AM and arrives at city B, 300 km away, at 11:00 AM. After a 30-minute break, it leaves city B and arrives at city C, another 150 km away, at 1:30 PM. Calculate the car's average speed for the entire trip, excluding the break.

1. If an object's speed is constant, its average speed will be equal to its instantaneous speed.

2. Average speed can be greater than the maximum instantaneous speed achieved during a journey.

Match the term on the left with its correct definition or formula on the right.

1. A runner completes a 100-meter race in 12 seconds. They then run a 200-meter race in 26 seconds. What is the runner's average speed for both races combined?

2. A car travels at 70 km/h for the first 2 hours of a journey and then slows down to 50 km/h for the next 3 hours. Calculate the total distance traveled and the average speed for the entire journey.
