Because distance=rate * time. If you travel for 30 minutes @ 60 mph then your distance would be: 60 miles/hour * .5 hr = 30 miles. Now if you want to fiqure in the earth's rotation about it's axis and rotation around the sun and the sun's travel in the galaxy, then you've really got a problem!

What is distance usually on a distance vs. time graph of an objects motion?

Since the distance depends on the time, the distance goes on the y-axis. The scale will depend on the data you have.


How many hours is 240km?

You don't convert hours to km. Hours is a measure of time, km. is a measure of length.If you mean, how long would such a trip take, that would depend on the speed. Use the relationship: distance = speed x time. Solving for time: time = distance / speed. If distance is in km. and speed in km/hour, then the time will of course be in hours.You don't convert hours to km.

How do you do distance rate and time problems?

Generally: RATE = DISTANCE / TIME -or- DISTANCE = RATE * TIME -or- TIME = DISTANCE / RATE qed


Speed equals time divided by distance?

Distance = Rate x Time Rate = Distance/Time, not Time/Distance


How can you calculate the rate of speed if we know distance and time?

Average speed during the time = (distance) divided by (time for that distance)
