The equation is:
Distance = Rate X Time
To simplify, if we are given the rate at which someone is traveling and the time it takes to travel, we can then calculate the total distance traveled.- Step 2
Consider the following. A car travels at 60mph and drives for 2 hours. We need to calculate the distance the car traveled.
Distance = Rate X Time
Distance = 60mph X 2 hours
Distance = 120 miles
If the speed is constant, then the distance is simply the speed multiplied by the time taken for the journey. This relationship is the distance/time = speed, or d/t = s.
If the speed was constant, then the distance travelled is given by the integral.
In both cases, the distance the area under the speed by time graph

Is the total distance traveled divided by constant speed eual constant speed?
No. The total distance traveled divided by constant speed is the time interval.
Instantaneous speed is total distance traveled divided by total time of travel this is true and false?
False. Instantaneous speed is distance travelled divided by time, for a very short time interval. (Technically, you take the limit, when the time interval approaches zero.)
What measures distance traveled in a given time interval?
Speed
What is an object's total distance traveled divided by the total time it traveled?
The object's total distance traveled divided by the total time it traveled is its average speed.
If a body dropped from rest has a constant acceleration in free fall is the distance traveled by the body the same for each time interval?
No, the distance traveled by the body in free fall is not the same for each time interval. The distance traveled increases with time because the body accelerates due to gravity. This means that the body covers more distance in each subsequent time interval.
What is the average speed if you walk for 120 seconds at 1ms then run for 120 seconds at 6ms?
To find the average speed you must know the total distance traveled and the total elapsed. The distance traveled in each interval is simply the speed multiplied by the time (v x t). Thus, in the first interval you travel 120 x 1 = 120 meters, in the second interval 120 x 6 = 720 meters; therefore, the total distance traveled is 840 meters. The total time elapsed is 120 + 120 = 240 seconds. An average speed is simply the total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed thus in this case it is 720 m / 240 s = 3 m/s.
What is the ratio called of the total distance traveled to the time interval?
The ratio you are referring to is called speed or velocity. Speed is the total distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance. Velocity includes direction and is a vector quantity, while speed is a scalar quantity.
Which of the following do you calculate when you divide the total distance traveled by the total traveled time?
Speed = Distance/Time
What is the distance traveled over a given time interval?
Distance traveled over a given time interval is determined by multiplying the speed at which the object is moving by the duration of time it has been moving. The formula to calculate distance is distance = speed x time.
What is the distance traveled over a period of time?
It is the product (multiplication) of the average speed and the time interval.
What is average speed definition?
The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance traveled by the object divided by the duration of the interval.
The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred?
It gives speed.
