The formula, distance = speed x time, or speed = distance / time, assumes constant speed. If the speed changes, then the formula speed = distance / time will give you the average speed over the time period. To get the instantaneous speed in this case, you must divide distance / time for a very short time interval.
Rate of travel = (distance traveled) divided by (time traveled)
velocity
Speed Average speed- the total distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance Velocity is also the distance or displacement divided by the time
this will result in speed
speed
The distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance gives the average speed. This value represents the rate at which an object moves over a given distance in a specific amount of time.
Distance/time = speed
speed
The average speed.
average
That number is what we call the object's "speed".
The distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes to travel that distance is called the average speed.[ Average ] Speed = Distance / TimeFor example :A car that travels 60 miles in a time of 2 hours has an average speed of 30 miles per hour.
