An example: A football travels at A speed unknown. Measure A distance for travel. Throw the ball and time it with A stopwatch. Take the feet and devide by seconds. 100feet, for 8seconds = 12.5 feet/per second. multiply 12.5 (feet) by 60 (seconds in A minute) =750 feet/per minute multiply 750 (feet) by 60 (minutes in an hour) = 45,000 feet/per hour. Divide 45,000 (feet) by 5,280 (feet in A mile) = 8.522 Miles/per hour This will work for any measuring scale, You just need to know all the different measurement steps. I.E. - feet in A mile, seconds in A minute, minutes in an hour. ECT.

How fast is an object moving if it travels 350 meters in 7 seconds?
The object is moving at the speed of 50 ms-1 .
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 calculate the mass of an object?
the mass of an object measures the amount of matter in a object.
How do you calculate volume for an irregular object?
Partition (or divide) the irregular object into summation of regular objects and then calculate the volume.
It is the distance of an object travels in the given amount of time?
speed
How can reference points be used to calculate the distance an object travels?
2
What is the difference between instantaneous velocity and instantaneous speed?
Speed, instantaneous or not, is a term used for how fast an object travels. Velocity, instantaneous or not, is a term used for how fast an object travels in a particular direction.
How fast is an object moving if it travels 350 meters in 7 seconds?
The object is moving at the speed of 50 ms-1 .
Explanation on how fast light travels?
light travels very fast! it travels in the form of waves.
What object 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)
The force is found by multiplying the mass of an object by the velocity at which it travels?
That is how you calculate thrust. FV=T Force, Velocity, Thrust.
How fast travels?
speed
An object that travels around another object is called a?
Satellite
What is the period when an object travels around another object?
orbit
When was Bad Newz Travels Fast created?
Bad Newz Travels Fast was created on 1997-07-15.
Why do you need to calculate velocity instead of speed?
Speed and Velocity are two different things . Velocity- "the rate at which an object changes its position." Speed- "How fast an object is moving". To calculate speed and velocity, you first need to calculate distance and time. Velocity is considered to be a more logical term
How do you find the total momentum of 2 objects moving at the same speed in opposite directions?
(1) Decide on a direction that you will consider positive. (2) Calculate the momentum of the object that travels in the "positive" direction. (3) Calculate the momentum of the object that travels in the "negative" direction (the momentum should be negative). (4) Add both numbers algebraically.
