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.

Happy calculating

When you know both the speed and direction of an object while it is in motion do you know the average speed of the object?

The average speed is the speed, regardless of the direction.ANSWER:No. You don't. In order to find average speed, you need other variables, either time or distance to calculate an average speed. You might only see a train going up a steep slope at 15 mph everyday and think that's the slowest train in the world. Not knowing that on the other side of the hill it reaches 90 mph on the downslope.


Why is average speed useful?

It tells you how long it will take you to get from here to there, without knowing exactly what your speed will be at every moment on the trip.

How many average speed in 60m?

To calculate average speed, you would need the total time taken to cover the distance. If we have the time taken, we can divide the distance traveled by the time taken to get the average speed. Without the time taken, we cannot calculate the average speed in this case.


How do you calculate force if you only have speed?

To calculate force when given speed, you would need to know the mass of the object. The equation that relates force, speed, and mass is F = m*a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration (change in speed over time). Without knowing the mass or acceleration, it is not possible to calculate the force.
