Distance and elapsed time are both measurements that quantify aspects of movement and change, but they represent different concepts. Distance measures how far an object has traveled, while elapsed time measures the duration of the journey. Both are essential in understanding motion, as they are often used together to calculate speed. However, they differ in that distance is a spatial measure (in units like meters or miles), while elapsed time is a temporal measure (in units like seconds or hours).
Typically as a function of distance traveled by time elapsed. Kilometers per hour, feet per second, etc.
what is the elapsed time between 4:30 and 5:10
The elapsed time would be 18 minutes
To find the answer to elapsed time problems, first note the starting and ending times. Subtract the starting time from the ending time to determine the elapsed time. If the times are in different formats (e.g., hours and minutes), convert them to a consistent format, and remember to account for any crossing of hour boundaries. Additionally, using a timeline can help visualize the problem and ensure accuracy.
Because time is considered to be the independent variable, with distance being dependent on the time elapsed since some starting point. Also, distance can be treated as function of time but time will not be a function of distance unless the object is always moving away from the initial position. If the object is stationary or returning, the distance-to-time relationship becomes one-to-many which is not permitted for a function.
I was not aware that they were similar except that they are both elements of dynamics.
Find the distance of the race. Find the cyclist's start time. Find the cyclist's finish time. Elapsed time = Finish time - Start time. Average speed = Distance/Elapsed time.
No. The average speed would be the distance traveled divided by the elapsed time.
the rate of speed
distance covered divided by time elapsed
What does elapsed time meen?
Total distance traveled & total elapsed time.
time elapsed=final time taken - initial time taken
time elapsed=final time taken - initial time taken

The distance kinematic equation is used in physics to calculate the distance an object travels over a certain period of time, given its initial velocity, acceleration, and time elapsed.
well you take the distance and divide it by time. so like if you had this chart: Distance traveled (km) time elapsed (hours) 150 1.5 180 2 then you would take 150 and divide that by 1.5 and then take 180 and divide it by 2.
