Is speed a distance traveled in a given time?
Without going into all the fine points about the difference between speed and velocity, speed is generally assumed to be the distance travelled in a unit of time. As an example if you travel 120 feet in 60 minutes you travel at a speed of 120 ft/60 min = 2 ft/min. The assumption (looking at the answer) is that you travelled at the same rate every minute. However in the real world you may have gone 119 feet in 1 minute and spent the remaining 59 minutes traveling the last foot. Spped is therefor the average rate you conered the distance in the total time elapsed.
Explain how to find the average speed of a car that travels 300 kilometers in 6 hours?
Average speed = Distance travelled/Time spent = 300/6 = 50 km per hour.
If astronauts travel to the Moon and back to Earth again in 144 hours how many kilometers per hour do they travel?
Around 5339 km/hour is the result for the "average speed" but the actual top speed would be much higher, and the lowest speed much lower. In the 148-hour trip by Apollo 8 in 1968, the spacecraft spent 2 hours in Earth orbit before traveling to the Moon, and 67 hours getting there. They spent 20 hours making 10 orbits of the Moon, at an average speed of about 6000 km/hr. On the last leg of their return to Earth, they traveled 400,000 km in 55 hours and reached a maximum speed of 40,000 km/hr. The "average" distance to the Moon is 384,400 km, so the round trip is a minimum of 768, 800 km. The actual surface to surface distance is about 8100 km less, since the distance is measured from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon, but you would probably have to orbit anyway. 768800 km / 144 hours = 5338.88 km/hr
How would a round-trip flight be represented on a distance and time graph?
It would appear like a child's drawing of a mountain: a line rising from the horizontal axis to reach a maximum height (= distance to destination) and then returning to the horizontal line. The exact shape of this "mountain" will depend on how the speed and directions varied during the journey. Also, if the mountain could be a plateau if there was any time spent at the destination.
If the distance to Jerusalem is 7644 miles how many hours does it take to get there?
That depends on the speed at which you're traveling. If you're going by airplane on a single flight, it would take roughly 12 to 15 hours (not including time spent at the airport).
How do you find distance traveled?
You multiply the speed at which you are traveling by the time spent traveling.
Could you find the distance somebody travels if you know the rate of speed?
No, you would also need to know the time spent travelled. Distance equals rate multiplied by time, or D=RT.
Average speed and instantaneous speed?
Average speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance). If I leave the house at 8:00 in the morning, drive 20 miles to the office, stay in my office until late afternoon, leave the office and drive 20 miles home, and arrive home at 6:00 in the evening, my average driving speed for the day is (40 miles) divided by (10 hours) = 4 miles per hour.
How do you calculate miles traveled per dollar spent?
Divide the total distance by the amount of fuel used... then multiply by the cost per gallon.
How can you calculate the average speed for several different parts of a journey?
Keep track of how much time was spent moving and divide it into the total of miles traveled.
What is the most time spent running i dont mean speed or the distance but what is the record for longest time spent running without stopping?
34. 5 hours
A car is traveling at 65 miles per hour on the interstate. What equation shows the relationship between total miles traveled (m) time spent traveling (t) and the car's speed (s) How do I make equation?
The distance traveled (m) is the speed (s) multiplied by the time (t). That ism = stHere t is in hours when m is in miles and speed in miles per hourm = 65t
What was Jack's average speed for the entire ride?
It was (the total distance he covered) divided by (the total time he spent riding).
What is one way that Frink connects events throughout her diary?
By repeating the amount of time she has spent away from home
How do you find the average speed of someone who stops and starts multiple times?
-- measure the distance between the place where he started and the place where he ended up, or read the total distance he covered from the odometer in his car -- divide that number by the length of time he spent covering that distance -- the answer is his average speed over that distance, and during that time

What is the difference between average speed and istantaneous speed?
Instantaneous speed is your speed at a given moment in time, whereas the average speed is the rate at which something has travelled from one point to another.In practice, the average speed is calculated using the total distance travelled and dividing it by the total time spent travelling:vaverage=Δd/ΔtWhereas the instantaneous speed is the time derivative of the distance travelled:vinstantaneous=dx/dt
