When you say, for example, 50mph/50 miles per hour in a car that's how fast you're going. It also saying you will go 50 miles in an hour. So in an hour if you do 50 miles and you stayed at the same speed you would have been going at 50mph.

What is the total distance an object travels divided by the total time it takes to travel that distance?

That's the definition of the object's average speedduring that period of time.Note: Not velocity. That's something different.


How do you find objects speed?

The speed of an object can be found by dividing the distance travelled by the object by the time taken for the object to travel that distance. Speed=Distance/Time


What is the distance traveled by an object divided byt he time it takes to travel distance?

That number is what we call the object's "speed".


The distance traveled by an object divided by the timw it takes to travel that distance is called?

The average speed.


An object travels a given distance at a speed of 5 m s If the object travels the same distance at a higher speed how will the time it takes the object to travel the distance be affected?

It will take less time.


The total distance an object travels divided by the time of travel is?

speed


What is distance divied by time?

Distance divided by time has the dimensions of speed (magnitude of velocity). The (distance an object travels) divided by (the time it takes to travel that distance) is a definition for the object's average speed.


What are distance traveled and time traveled and rate of travel related?

Rate of travel = (distance traveled) divided by (time traveled)


If you have a force acting on an object for a certain period of time how can you find the distance traveled?

There are two ways to find the distance traveled. One is to measure the distance traveled. The other is to measure the distance raveled within a certain amount of time and then multiply to find how far it will travel in the future.


Why does WikiAnswers allow distance-related questions?

Yes, we have a "Distances and Travel Times" category that is full with distance-related questions.


What experiment would you do to show how the amount of distance affects velocity over a period of time?

I am not sure how you would do that. However, it is relatively simple to set up an experiment to show that velocity (over a period of time) affects distance. Select an object whose velocity can be changed from one constant value to another. Alternatively, select a set of objects that can travel at different, but constant, velocities. Measure the distance travelled by each object in the chosen time period (or have a race).


What Can be calculated if you know the distance that an object travel in one unit of time?
