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.
That's the definition of the object's average speedduring that period of time.Note: Not velocity. That's something different.
That number is what we call the object's "speed".
The average speed.
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.
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).

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

The average speed.
It will take less 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.
Rate of travel = (distance traveled) divided by (time 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.
Yes, we have a "Distances and Travel Times" category that is full with distance-related questions.
