Yes. Global positioning satellite systems pinpoint their position using time and distance calculations received from the various GPS satellites. If a GPS systems pinpoints a location at a certain time, and pinpoints a different location at a certain time later, all that is needed to determine how fast the GPS got from the first point to the second is simple math.

If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and DIRECTION?
No, you cannot.
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
What is the formula for distance traveled?
distance traveled = speed multiplied by time taken.
What information would be necessary to determine the speed of an object?
The distance it travels and how long it took to travel that far. To calculate speed you do (total distance traveled)/(total time taken)
How do you determine the distance something traveled?
measure

If you know the distance of an object has traveled in a certain amount of time you can determine the?
speed
If you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time what can you determine?
You can determine the rate of motion. For example mph (miles per hour) is found by multiplying miles traveled by the time (hours) in motion.this formula isRate * Time = Distance
If a person knows the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time they can determine the?
If you divide he distance by the time, and take into account the direction traveled, you will get the AVERAGE velocity during the time considered.

What is the science of getting ships from place place including the determining of position course and distance traveled?
Marine navigation.
What can you determine if you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time?
Velocity Velocity= distance/time V=d/t
In determining velocity of any object in motion Why is it important to know the distance and the time the object traveled?
Velocity is equal to distance divided by time.
What is the definition of stream gradient?
A) the distance traveled by water in a channel times a drop in elevation b) the drop in elevation of a stream divided by the distance the water travels c) the water pressure at the bottom of the stream divided by the stream's width d) the increase in discharge of a stream per unit drop in elevation
Which three aspects help to determine speed?
Speed is the mathematical combination of the distance you traveled and the time you took to do it.
