What is 10 m/s forward?

10 m/s forward is like running really fast, but not just for a few seconds, it's how fast you're moving all the time.

Imagine you’re on your bike, and you’re going as fast as you can. That’s about how fast you’d be going if you were 10 meters every second, that’s almost like zooming past 3 cars in a row!

How Fast Is That?

  • 1 meter is about the length of a big step.
  • So, 10 meters is like taking 10 big steps.
  • If you take those 10 steps in just one second, that’s 10 m/s, pretty fast!

Think of Your Favorite Toy
