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 speed of the car what function describes it?

The distance traveled by a car can be described by the linear function (d = vt), where (d) represents distance, (v) is the speed of the car, and (t) is the time traveled. This equation indicates that distance is directly proportional to both speed and time, assuming constant speed. Therefore, as speed increases, the distance traveled in a given time also increases.


What is the unit of measurement used to measure the distance traveled by the car?

The unit of measurement commonly used to measure the distance traveled by a car is kilometers (km) or miles (mi).


Which unit would a scientist use for measuring the distance traveled by a car?

A scientist would typically use the unit "meters" or "kilometers" to measure the distance traveled by a car. These units are commonly used in scientific research and calculations for measuring distances.

What is the instrument used to measure distance in a car?

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.

A radio controlled car rolls 10 m south then reverses direction and rolls m north. The car has traveled a distance of how many m south?

The radio-controlled car first rolls 10 meters south and then moves 6 meters north. To find the total distance traveled south, we only consider the distance it moved south. Therefore, the car has traveled a total distance of 10 meters south.
