The distance travelled in a given time is a means of measuring the speed. For instance, at a constant 60 mph (miles per hour) means that in one hour (60 minutes) the distance travelled is 60 miles.

It is the length of the time period multiplied by the average speed over that time. Unfortunately, this definition ends up being circular because average speed is defined by the total distance divided by the total time taken.

What is the average velocity in a truck?

It is the distance travelled in a given direction divided by the time taken to cover that distance.


How is speed defined?

The distance travelled divided by time. Distance/time = speed


Define speed as a rate and define velocity as speed in a given direction?

Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance, calculated as distance traveled divided by the time taken. Velocity, on the other hand, includes both the speed and direction of the object's motion. It is a vector quantity that specifies the speed and direction of motion.


What is the ratio of distance travelled to time?

It is the average speed.


How do you measure Velocity-?

velocity = distance travelled/time taken to travel that distance


What is reaction distance?

reaction distance is the distance travelled from the time you see and analyze a threat, to the time you actually physically react.


How do you determine the speed?

Measure the distance travelled in a given time. speed is distance divided by time so if a ball moved 100 metres in 5 seconds it is travelling at (100/5)m/s 20m/s


How can you remember speed?

Distance travelled per unit time .

Is distance and time proportional in velocity?

Not sure what you mean exactly. At constant velocity, the distance travelled is proportional to the time.
