Galileo didn't discover a mathematical relationship for distance traveled when an object is being accelerated, as the maths only became possible when Issac Newton invented the calculus (partly for the reason of finding such a relationship).

Galileo did discover objects accelerated at the same rate independent of mass in the gravitational field (a 10kg stone will hit the ground the same time as a 1kg stone if ignoring air) He suggested such experiments as dropping stones off the leaning tower of Pisa.

Suppose you plot the distance traveled by an object at various times and you discover that the graph is not a straight line what does this indicate about the object acceleration?

It means that the object was accelerating or decelerating at least part of the time.


Is distance traveled and rate of speed non linear?

No, there is a linear relationship.


What is the relationship between displacement and direction?

Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance


If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?

Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)


What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?

Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.


How does distance vary with the square of time?

For a free-falling object, you can calculate the total distance traveled, given the amount of time. The distance of the fall is proportional to the square of the time elapsed. In general, distance can be found by the relationship between acceleration and time squared. If we let a be acceleration, which can be gravity if you want, and t be time, then we have: The distance traveled = 1/2 * a * t2 The distance traveled = 1/2 * g* t2


Which type of graph would be best for showing the relationship between paintball mass and distance traveled?

Line graph


What are distance traveled and time traveled and rate of travel related?

Rate of travel = (distance traveled) divided by (time traveled)


Which type graph or chart would be best for showing the relationship between paintball mass distance traveled?

A scatter plot.


What is the formula for distance traveled?

distance traveled = speed multiplied by time taken.


What distance is traveled accelerating from 0 mph to 35 mph?

How fast are you accelerating? If I accelerate very slowly, I can travel about 100 miles before reaching 35 mph. On the other hand, a rocket propelled automobile could achieve 35 mph from standstill within ten feet.


Whats the relationship between the distance traveled by the object and the force needed to lift the object When one changeswhat happens to the other?
