  1. The equation is:

    Distance = Rate X Time

    To simplify, if we are given the rate at which someone is traveling and the time it takes to travel, we can then calculate the total distance traveled.

  2. Step 2

    Consider the following. A car travels at 60mph and drives for 2 hours. We need to calculate the distance the car traveled.

    Distance = Rate X Time
    Distance = 60mph X 2 hours
    Distance = 120 miles

If the speed is constant, then the distance is simply the speed multiplied by the time taken for the journey. This relationship is the distance/time = speed, or d/t = s.

If the speed was constant, then the distance travelled is given by the integral.

In both cases, the distance the area under the speed by time graph

If you know the distance traveled in a certain time you can calculate the speed.

Distance traveled/time = speed.

ex.

100 miles traveled in 10 hours

100/10 = 10 miles per hour

What is the ratio called of the total distance traveled to the time interval?

Average Velocity!


Is the total distance traveled divided by constant speed eual constant speed?

No. The total distance traveled divided by constant speed is the time interval.


Instantaneous speed is total distance traveled divided by total time of travel this is true and false?

False. Instantaneous speed is distance travelled divided by time, for a very short time interval. (Technically, you take the limit, when the time interval approaches zero.)


What measures distance traveled in a given time interval?

Speed


What is the average speed if you walk for 120 seconds at 1ms then run for 120 seconds at 6ms?

To find the average speed you must know the total distance traveled and the total elapsed. The distance traveled in each interval is simply the speed multiplied by the time (v x t). Thus, in the first interval you travel 120 x 1 = 120 meters, in the second interval 120 x 6 = 720 meters; therefore, the total distance traveled is 840 meters. The total time elapsed is 120 + 120 = 240 seconds. An average speed is simply the total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed thus in this case it is 720 m / 240 s = 3 m/s.


The amount of distance traveled in a given amount of time measures what?

(change in distance) divided by (time interval) = the object's average speed during that time interval.


Which of the following do you calculate when you divide the total distance traveled by the total traveled time?

Speed = Distance/Time


What is the distance traveled over a period of time?

It is the product (multiplication) of the average speed and the time interval.


What is average speed definition?

The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance traveled by the object divided by the duration of the interval.


The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred?

It gives speed.


Distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred?

Average speed


If a body dropped from rest has a constant acceleration in free fall is the distance traveled by the body the same for each time interval?

No. Acceleration is the rate at which the speed is INCREASING. Since the speed is increasing,the distance traveled by the body in each time interval is also increasing.
