Speed is the rate of change of position expressed as what?

Speed is the rate of change of position expressed as distance traveled per unit of time. It measures how fast an object is moving from one point to another.


What is the rate of change of position in which the same distance is traveled each second?

The rate of change of position in which the same distance is traveled each second is constant. This means that the object is moving at a constant speed.


Is the change in position of an object when compared to a reference point defined as speed?

No, the change in position of an object compared to a reference point is defined as displacement. Speed, on the other hand, is the rate at which an object covers distance in a specific direction, usually expressed as distance traveled per unit of time.


How does the distance traveled by an object change as a function of time?

The distance traveled by an object changes over time based on its speed and direction of motion. This change can be described by the object's velocity, which is the rate of change of its position with respect to time.


How is speed velocity acceleration related?

Speed is the rate of motion usually expressed as distance traveled per unit of time.Velocity is the rate of change of position. Both speed and direction are required. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. In common speech, acceleration is only for an increase in speed; a decrease in speed is deceleration. In physics, any increase or decrease in speed or change of direction is referred to as acceleration. For more information, look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration


Is the moon's acceleration expressed as a change in speed or a change in direction?

The moon's acceleration is expressed as a change in direction.


What word means distance traveled per unit time?

The word that means distance traveled per unit time is "speed." Speed is a measure of how quickly an object moves from one place to another, expressed as the distance traveled per unit of time.


What is the change in an objects position over time without a direction?

Speed --- actually, if your question is 'position' over time, there is no answer since position is a vector quantity. And position divided by time will still yield a vector quantity-- velocity. If the question asks for change in distance over time, then the answer is speed. --gh ---


How is average speed sometimes different than average velocity?

Average speed is the distance traveled divided by the time traveled. Average velocity is the displacement divided by the time traveled. Displacement is change in position, or final position (df) minus initial position (di). Let's say you traveled from your home to the mall and then back again. The total distance traveled was 30 miles, and the total time driven was 1 hour. Average speed = distance traveled/time traveled = 30 miles/1 hour = 30mi/hr or 30mph. Average velocity = (df - di)/time traveled = 0 mile/1 hour = 0 mi/hr or 0mph.* *In this case the final position and the initial position are the same (your house), so the displacement is zero. Something to think about: When a Nascar driver races 500 miles around an oval track, his average speed might be 160mph, but his average velocity when he finishes the race is 0mph.


How do you find speed using time and distance?

The speed of an object is expressed as a distance traveled per unit of time. When referring to an "object," the formula is v = d/t, where v = speed (meters/second), d = distance traveled (meters), and t = time (second) When referring to travelling systems such as cars, bicycles, or aircraft, it is more appropriate to use a similar formula except that distance traveled is expressed in kilometers or miles and time is expressed in hours.


Motion is change in?

Motion is the change in an object's position.


The rate at which an object changes position is called what?

A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
