In a car the Odometer will show you the distance travelled.

In mathematics you would need to know the average speed the car was travelling at and the time that it was travelling for.

Divide the average speed by 360 to get how many units of distance were covered per second.

Muliply this by the number of seconds the car was travelling for.

The result will be the distance, in the same unit of distance as the speed was measured in.

Example,

Average speed = 30km per hour

Time = 15 minutes (900 seconds)

Distance = (Average Speed/360)*Time

= (30/360)*900

= 7.5 (km)

The distance traveled by a car depends on the velocity of the car?

Yes, the distance traveled by a car is directly proportional to its velocity. This relationship is described by the formula distance = velocity x time, where time is the duration of travel. The faster the car is moving (higher velocity), the more distance it will cover in a given amount of time.

How can one determine the stopping distance of a car?

The stopping distance of a car can be determined by considering the car's speed, reaction time of the driver, and the braking distance required to come to a complete stop. The stopping distance is the sum of the reaction distance (distance traveled during the driver's reaction time) and the braking distance (distance traveled while the brakes are applied). It can be calculated using the formula: Stopping distance Reaction distance Braking distance.
