Yes. Global positioning satellite systems pinpoint their position using time and distance calculations received from the various GPS satellites. If a GPS systems pinpoints a location at a certain time, and pinpoints a different location at a certain time later, all that is needed to determine how fast the GPS got from the first point to the second is simple math.

If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and DIRECTION?
No, you cannot.
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
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.
What is the formula for distance traveled?
distance traveled = speed multiplied by time taken.
What information would be necessary to determine the speed of an object?
The distance it travels and how long it took to travel that far. To calculate speed you do (total distance traveled)/(total time taken)
What is the formula for determining the reference front of pigment?
The formula for determining the reference front of pigment in thin layer chromatography is: Reference front = distance traveled by pigment / distance traveled by solvent.
How do you determine the distance something traveled?
measure
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and DIRECTION?
No, you cannot.
Which two measurements are needed to determine the speed of an object?
To determine the speed of an object, you would need to know the distance it has traveled and the time it took to cover that distance. Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to cover that distance.
What is the instrument used to measure distance of traveled?
An odometer is commonly used to measure the distance traveled by a vehicle. It calculates the distance based on the rotations of the vehicle's wheels. GPS devices can also be used to determine distance traveled by tracking the device's movement.
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
If you know the distance of an object has traveled in a certain amount of time you can determine the?
speed of the object by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving.
How can you determine the speed of an object that has a constant motion if you know the distance the object traveled and the time it took?
You can determine the speed of the object by dividing the distance it traveled by the time it took to cover that distance. The formula to calculate speed is Speed = Distance / Time.
If you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time what can you determine?
You can determine the rate of motion. For example mph (miles per hour) is found by multiplying miles traveled by the time (hours) in motion.this formula isRate * Time = Distance
In determining velocity of any object in motion Why is it important to know the distance and the time the object traveled?
Knowing the distance and time the object traveled provides the necessary information to calculate the object's velocity. Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position with respect to time. By having both distance and time, one can determine how fast the object is moving and in what direction.
What is the equation for distance traveled in science?
Distance traveled can be calculated using the formula: distance = speed × time. This equation is used to determine how far an object has moved over a certain period of time at a specific speed.
If a person knows the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time they can determine the?
If you divide he distance by the time, and take into account the direction traveled, you will get the AVERAGE velocity during the time considered.
