That's the definition of the object's average speedduring that period of time.Note: Not velocity. That's something different.
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.
It is usually a vector and is a number which has a direction associated with it. Velocity is an example of a directed number. The velocity of an object is not only its speed (distance/time) but also the direction of travel. Acceleration, force are other common vectors.
Acceleration is zero velocity is constant at 8m every second acceleration is the gradient of velocity and the gadient of a constant = 0
The distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes to travel that distance is called the average speed, r, if you are also considering its direction, its average velocity. Velocity = distance in one direction/time Speed = distance/time For example: A car that travels 60 miles in a time of 2 hours has a speed of 30 miles per hour.
Velocity
That's the object's 'velocity'.
If I travel 3 kilometers in 10minutes 16 seconds how far do I travel in 1 minute
In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be zero
Speed and direction together are an object's velocity.
Velocity is a vector. You need both speed and direction
It will travel in the direction of the velocity. I guess learning physics pays off....
5.5 feet per minute.
No.When an object accelerates its velocity is changing.As velocity is defined as speed with direction, its velocity changes ifeither the speed or the direction of travel changes.As its velocity is changing it is technically accelerating (or possibly 'decelerating'if you are an American)
An object's speed changes whenever the rate of change between the distance the object travels and the time it takes to travel that distance changes. Do not confuse speed with velocity; speed is scalar, and velocity is vector. Velocity can change when speed remains constant.

Such an object is said to travel at a constant speed. If it doesn't change direction, it is also said to travel at constant velocity.
