How do they calculate average speed?
Average speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance)
What does the slop of a distance vs. time graph tell you?
The slope of a distance vs. time graph is a measure of the rate of change of the distance over time. It tells you the speed at which the distance is changing. If the slope is positive it means the distance is increasing with time. If the slope is negative it means the distance is decreasing with time. If the slope is zero it means the distance is not changing with time. Positive slope: distance is increasing with time. Negative slope: distance is decreasing with time. Zero slope: distance is not changing with time.The slope of the graph can be used to calculate the average speed of an object over a certain period of time. By taking the change in distance and dividing it by the change in time the average speed can be calculated.
The distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes that distance is called?
It is called speed Speed = Distance/Time
Can you calculate speed from a motion graph?
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
Why does speed distance divided by time give you only the average speed?
Because it does. :)
