No, distance and speed are two separate measurements.

Distance is how far an object moves relative to speed and time, and speed is how fast an object moves relative to time and distance.

How do you get the avrage speed?

d/t=s d = distance t = time s = speed the speed is actually going to be the average speed because they are practically the same thing (and for this equation speed is the exact same thing as average speed)


Will a bus and a car travel the same distance at a same speed in same time?

Yes. Time is a function of distance and speed, and independent of the method of achieving that speed over the distance. time = distance ÷ speed


Are motion and distance the same thing?

No they are not the same thing


Do two vehicles travelling at the same speed cover the same distance at the same time?

Speed is measured by distance and time, yes. Velocity takes in direction.


How would decreasing the time it takes you to run a certain distance of your speed?

Decreasing the time, for the same distance, means you increase your speed. Remember that speed is distance / time.


What happens to speed if you take twice as long to cover the same distance?

It will divide by two i think Indeed: Speed = Distance/(Time) Speed/2=Distance/(2*Time)


Is 2 vehicles having different speed but same distance have same velocities?

No. Same velocity means same speed and same direction.


Are diameter and distance the same thing?

No.

no


How do you find the speed of a object?

Speed is an absolute unchanging linear distance crossed per unit time. Speed is not the same thing as velocity, and an object cannot exhibit a "rate of speed" since rate is velocity. Speed is determined by measuring the distance traversed over a specific unit of time. Since the object almost always is not at a constant speed, we are really estimating the average speed.


What is acceleration speed and velocity?

Speed is (distance covered) divided by (time taken to cover the distance).Velocity is a speed and its direction.Acceleration is any change of velocity.
