All Textbook Topics - Forces and Motion - Speed, Distance and Time - Time is often represented by a 't' in equations and the unit is s

Time is often represented by a 't' in equations and the unit is s

't' is often used to represent time in equations.

A good example of this is in the equation speed = distance / time with the symbol equation being: s=d/t

The most common unit of time is the second and is commonly represented as an 's'.

An example of this in use is saying 20 seconds or 20s.
