Just divide the distance by the time. (In this case, the speed in the answer will be in meters per second.)
Speed = (distance traveled) divided by (time to cover the distance) Speed = (50 meters) / (2 seconds) Speed = 50 meters per 2 seconds Speed = 25 meters per second
2 meters every second. bit pointless
speed = distance/time distance = speed x time = (50m/s) x (2.5s) = 125m
distance = rate x timedistance = (6.0m/sec)(8.0 sec)distance = 54 m
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 rate that you cover a distance is your speed. Speed is a measure of the distance traveled per unit time. If your units are meters and seconds, then your speed would be in meters/second. To find the speed of something you divide the distance it traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. For example if something traveled 40 meters in 10 seconds its speed would be (40 meters)/(10 seconds) = 4 meters/second
Speed = (distance traveled) divided by (time to cover the distance) Speed = (50 meters) / (2 seconds) Speed = 50 meters per 2 seconds Speed = 25 meters per second
2 meters every second. bit pointless
meters is the distance traveled per unit time per second. Mileage = meters Time = seconds
No. If you divide a distance by a speed, you get a time, not a speed. For example, (meters) / (meters/second) = (seconds).
Speed= Distance / time => Distance = Speed x Time =16x8 = 128m
speed = distance/time distance = speed x time = (50m/s) x (2.5s) = 125m
To determine average speed, you need to know what distance the object traveled in meters over how long it took the object to travel that distance in seconds.
distance = rate x timedistance = (6.0m/sec)(8.0 sec)distance = 54 m
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.
If air resistance can be ignored, the distance in meters is 4.9t2. Note that 4.9 is half the numerical value of Earth's acceleration (9.8 meters per second square).
To calculate the average speed of /anything/ you need to know the distance it traveled (IE: 500 meters) and the time it took to travel that (IE:50 seconds) Here's how to calculate it: You take the total distance and divide it by the time. So in our example, a car traveled 500 meters in 50 seconds, so the speed would be: 500 meters / 50 seconds = 500/50 = 10 meters / second. So the car would be traveling 10 meters per second.
