How can the distance of a toy car travels down a ramp affect its speed be used in real world uses?

Physicists and Engineers use small scale models like this all the time to convert to real world use.
A toy car going down a ramp can simulate how a life size car will respond going down a hill.
They can then use that information to build safer roads and vehicles.

This means an average speed of 22.87 miles per hour over the distance of the race.
Average marathon speed distance?
The average speed of the world record time is slightly over 20 km per hour, which is around 1 km per 3 minutes.
What is a real world example when the solution of a system of linear equations must be in the first quadrant?
usually used in science, distance versus time to find speed. distance on y-xis, and time on x-axis. the line represents speed. since neither time nor distance can be negative, the line will always be in the first quadrant.
Is speed a distance traveled in a given time?
Without going into all the fine points about the difference between speed and velocity, speed is generally assumed to be the distance travelled in a unit of time. As an example if you travel 120 feet in 60 minutes you travel at a speed of 120 ft/60 min = 2 ft/min. The assumption (looking at the answer) is that you travelled at the same rate every minute. However in the real world you may have gone 119 feet in 1 minute and spent the remaining 59 minutes traveling the last foot. Spped is therefor the average rate you conered the distance in the total time elapsed.
What does distance equal?
Distance is the length of anything or the distance between any two points. In standard units, it would be measured in inches, feet, yards, or miles. In SI unites, it would be measured in mm, cm, m, or km. In Astronomy, one might also use AU (distance from earth to sun), or lightyears (distance light travels in a year). Velocity/Distance calculates are common in mathematics, but perhaps only moderately applicable in the real world as speeds often vary during a trip. However, people do frequently try to estimate the expected duration of a trip.
Which is the fastest land car in the world?
it is the scc ultimate aero. it travels at the speed of 257 mph. hope this helps!
What is lightings speed?
the speed of light is 300 thousand kilometres a second, or 300 million metres a second. which means it would go around the world 7.5 times in a single second. a light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is 9.5 trillion kilometres. light is gamma rays, and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves that occur after either alpha or beta decay.
Does convection travel at the speed of light?
No but the leader that travels from the cloud to the ground travels at about 60 000 m/s. Light travels at 300 000 000 m/s. Note that the bright flash of lightning occurs on the return stoke and travels from the ground up to the cloud. Read the article on lightning at Wikipedia.org, 'The World's Encyclopedia'. The link is in the related links below.
How fast does is the speed of light travel around the earth?
Light cannot travel around the Earth, since light travels at a straight line and the Earth is round. The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.
Does light travel faster or slower when it travels in a medium?
Light travels slower through a medium. Generaly the dencer the medium the slower light travels. Light travels fastest through a vacuum assuming its speed is not being affected by gravity which also affects the speed of light. Examples. A very very thick piece of glass will appear thinner than it actually is and a streight stick will appear to bend if put into water at an angle.
