Only in some parts of the world which still cling to Imperial measures. The question does not specify any units of time and the answer is "average speed.".

What is the calculated speed over an entire trip called?

If you divide the distance of your trip by the total time it took to make the trip, you calculate the average speed. That includes all the time you're stuck in traffic, gassing the car, and stopping to eat.


When two drivers make a 100 km trip driver 1 completes the trip in 2 hours driver 2 takes 3 hours but stops for an hour halfway which driver had a greater average speed?

The first driver. Although their average speeds while on the road are the same, the overall average speed is the total distance divided by the total time.


Alex and beanie went on a 75-mile canoe trip with their class. On the first day they traveled 30 miles. What percent of the total distance did they canoe?

30 divided by 75 = 0.4 x 100 = 40% of the trip was covered in the first day.


A car took 3hrs to complete a 240 km trip what was its average speed?

Average Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance.In this case, the distance traveled is 240 km, and the time is 3hrs.You do the calculation. (your answer will have the unit km/hr)


Tom walks half a distance at 4mph and runs back the other half at 12 mph what is his average speed for the entire trip?

To calculate the average speed for Tom's entire trip, we can use the formula for average speed, which is total distance divided by total time. Let's assume the total distance is (d). Tom walks half the distance ((d/2)) at 4 mph and runs the other half at 12 mph. The time taken to walk is ((d/2) / 4 = d/8) hours, and the time taken to run is ((d/2) / 12 = d/24) hours. The total time is (d/8 + d/24 = 3d/24 + d/24 = 4d/24 = d/6) hours, so the average speed is (d / (d/6) = 6) mph.

Average Speed


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?

When you consider the total distance and total time for a trip, you are calculating average speed. Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. It gives you an overall idea of how fast an object moved during the entire trip, regardless of any fluctuations in speed that may have occurred.


Average speed is difined as the time it takes for trip divided by the distance?

Not quite. Flip it. Average speed = (distance traveled) divided by the (time for the distance).


What was her average velocity for the entire trip?

To calculate average velocity, you would divide the total displacement by the total time taken. If you have those values, you can plug them into the formula to find the average velocity for the entire trip.


What is adverage speed?

Average speed = (distance traveled) divided by (time for the trip).


What is a car's average speed in kilometers per hour if a 90-kilometer trip takes three hours?

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the time taken.Average speed = total distance traveled/time taken = 90 km/3 h = 30kph


If you are here how long does it take to get theere?

The time required is (distance from here to there) divided by (speed at which you make the trip) .


What measures the speed during a entire trip?

The average speed measures the speed during an entire trip. It is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.


Is the total distance divided by the time an object's speed?

The total distance displaced divided by the total time elapsed is an object's average speed. Let's take an example to see if it makes more sense.Consider a bus making stops along a city street. It takes a certain amount of time to go from a given stop to another one a mile or so down that street. You got on the bus and you noted the time as it left your stop. You get off at your destination and note the time. You then take the total distance the bus (with you aboard) went between your stops and divide it by the time it took to make the journey. You will then have the average speed of the bus during that trip.


At the start of the trip a car's speedometer reads 34627km it ends at 35118 The trip took 8hrs What is the average speed?

The total distance traveled is 35118 - 34627 = 491 km. The average speed is distance divided by time, which is 491 km / 8 hrs = 61.375 km/h.


How long is a 19 mile trip at 60 miles per hour?

How lomg is a 19 mile trip?? It is 19 miles long (distance ; NOT time). However, the time period is: - speed = distance / time time = distance / speed time = 19 miles / 60 mph time = 0.316666.... hours.


How do you calculate the average speed of acar if it has stationary phases?

Subtract the time periods of the stationary phases from the total trip time, then divide the remaining time by the distance.
