Transcription: Distance D equals speed V times time, T. If the speed is 10 meters per second, then in each second Ringo travels 10 meters. In 2 seconds he goes 20 meters, in 3 seconds 30 meters, in 1 minute 600 meters, and in 1 hour, 3600 seconds, he goes 3600 seconds times 10 meters per second equals 36,000 meters equals 36 kilometers. And after two hours, I make a pit stop. In an ordinary trip, you're always speeding up and slowing down. Your speed is not constant. Then what happens to the equation D equals V times T? If V is changing, which value of V do you use? You could solve the equation for V to get ...
