What is the formula of constant an average speed?
average distance/average time
How is distance and time related to the speed of an object?
In the case of constant speed: distance = speed x time. Or, Total distance = Average speed * Total Time
Is the total distance traveled divided by the constant speed is the average speed true or false?
In physics, total distance/TIME is average speed, so this is false. Velocity should be switched out with TIME.
Why is average speed called average speed?
Average speed is called average speed because it represents an average speed of something over a distance. Avarage could be thought of as a way to "even out" speed over a distance to see how fast an object was moving across that distance if it moved at a constant speed.An average speed takes into account stops and restarts as well as changes in speed of an object over the distance under consideration. The moving object might be moving faster at some points and slower at others. The object might stop and then resume traveling. All these things are "evened out" by average speed.A car taking a group to an eatery across town will start and stop as well as change speed across the distance. By dividing the distance by the travel time, we get the average speed that a car moving at a constant velocity would travel at to make the trip.
How do you find the constant speed of something?
If you know that the speed is constant, just divide the distance by the time it takes to travel that distance.
What is the formula of constant an average speed?
average distance/average time
What is the difference between constant speed and average speed?
Average speed is a representation of all your speeds between two points, constant speed is just unchanging speed.
How is distance and time related to the speed of an object?
In the case of constant speed: distance = speed x time. Or, Total distance = Average speed * Total Time
What does a straight line slanting up from left to right on a distance versus time graph show?
It represents that the object is remaining at a fixed distance. Typically that means it is not moving.
Does the total distance traveled divided by constant speed is an average speed?
No. If you divide a distance by a speed, you get a time, not a speed. For example, (meters) / (meters/second) = (seconds).
How does distance affects the average speed?
Distance does not affect the average speed. A car can travel 1 kilometre at an average speed of 60 km per hour, or it can travel 100 km at the same average speed.
Is the total distance traveled divided by the constant speed is the average speed true or false?
In physics, total distance/TIME is average speed, so this is false. Velocity should be switched out with TIME.
If you consider the total distance and total time for a trip are you calculating an instantaneous speed or constant speed average speed or non-uniform speed?
If only total distance and total time are considered, the speed calculated (total distance / total time) is the average speed of the entire trip.
How does average speed affect a total distance?
increase av speed and total dist. increases
Is the total distance traveled divided by constant speed eual constant speed?
No. The total distance traveled divided by constant speed is the time interval.
What is the equation for calculating speed when you know distance and time?
distance = speed x time.This assumes a constant speed.distance = speed x time.This assumes a constant speed.distance = speed x time.This assumes a constant speed.distance = speed x time.This assumes a constant speed.
What does the driver check while looking a the speedometer?
The driver checks the average speed of the car, which is the distance per hour is going. Average speed is the constant speed something is traveling at.
