Enter the distance covered and the time taken into the calculator to determine the speed using the Brandenburg Formula. This calculator helps to evaluate the speed of an object in motion.

Brandenburg Formula

The Brandenburg Formula is used to calculate the speed of an object in motion and is given by:

S = D / T

Variables:

  • S is the speed (meters per second)
  • D is the distance covered (meters)
  • T is the time taken (seconds)

To calculate the speed, divide the distance covered by the time taken.

What is the Brandenburg Formula?

The Brandenburg Formula is a simple equation used in physics to calculate the average speed of an object when its distance traveled and time taken are known. It is a fundamental concept in kinematics and is often used in various fields such as transportation, sports, and physics education.

How to Calculate Speed Using the Brandenburg Formula?

The following steps outline how to calculate the speed using the Brandenburg Formula.


  1. First, measure the distance covered (D) in meters.
  2. Next, measure the time taken (T) in seconds.
  3. Use the Brandenburg Formula: S = D / T.
  4. Finally, calculate the speed (S) in meters per second.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Distance covered (D) = 100 meters

Time taken (T) = 10 seconds
