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

Speed is the rate of change in what?


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

That would be called a "constant speed".(Not 'velocity', since no information about the direction of its motion has been given.)


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.


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.


Is the speed of motion position?

Almost. speed is (the rate of) the change in position.


The rate of change in position at a given point in time?

The rate of change in position at a given point in time is instantaneous speed, instantaneous velocity.


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

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


Is acceleration the rate of change of the rate of change of position?

no its speed that definds the rate change of position


What is formula for speed?

The physics formula for speed is s = d x t whered is the distance traveled in a period of timet is the amount of time it took to travel the distances is the speed traveled


What information do you need to calculate its speed?

Change in position and the time taken for the change in position.
