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.

∙ 7y agoIt 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 ratio of distance travelled to time?
It is the average speed.
Is distance and time proportional in velocity?
Not sure what you mean exactly. At constant velocity, the distance travelled is proportional to the time.
What measurements do you need to calculate the speed of a train?
distance travelled and time taken average speed = distance/time
What is 18 meters in speed?
You need to say the time in which that distance was travelled also to work out speed. Remember, speed is distance/time
What is the equation for computing the average speed?
Distance travelled divided by the time it took.
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.
Define speed as a rate and define velocity as speed in a given direction?
Velocity of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time in a given direction. Velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude as well as direction. Speed of a body gives us idea of how slow or fast a body is moving. Speed of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time. formula for speed is given by : Distance travelled/Time taken
How do distance-time and speed-time graphs help explain an object's motion?
Distance - Time shows speed (by gradient) and distance travelled over a given time. Speed - time shows acceleration and instant speed.
How do you get average speed?
the formula of average speed is a distance travelled divided by time v= distance travelled /time elapsed
How do you know an objects speed and velocity?
if the objects distance travelled and time is given then speed=distance/time eg- distance travelled 50 mtrs time taken 5 seconds speed 50/5 =10m/s velocity=u(initial velocity 0 for free falling objects) + at(acceleration x time)
How is speed defined?
The distance travelled divided by time. Distance/time = speed
What information do you get from acceleration?
Distance travelled or time elapsed between set points, given the speed at the first point. Also instantaneous speed.
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.
What is a 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
