Average distance
______________ = Average Speed
Average time
Divide the distance travelled by the time.
distance divided by time (d/t)
For example, an object goes in a circle, at a speed of 50 km/hour. The average speed is 50 km/hour; the average velocity is zero.
With a speed-o-meter!
Speed is an absolute unchanging linear distance crossed per unit time. Speed is not the same thing as velocity, and an object cannot exhibit a "rate of speed" since rate is velocity. Speed is determined by measuring the distance traversed over a specific unit of time. Since the object almost always is not at a constant speed, we are really estimating the average speed.
Yes. You can also find speed by distance divided by height
Divide the distance travelled by the time.
Most things don't move with the same speed at all times
distance divided by time (d/t)
Yes. If an object is moving at a constant speed the average speed and the constant speed are the same.
the speed
Average speed and instantaneous speed are both measurements of the speed of an object. The instantaneous speed measures how fast the object is going at a particular moment, while average speed shows how fast the object was moving in total over time.
In general, we will find the average speed of a moving object by dividing the total distance it travels by the total time elapsed in its travel.We can find the actual speed of the object if it moves with a constant speed during all of its travel. But if the object is something like a bus or train that makes stops along the way, we discover its average speed by dividing the total distance it travels by the total time it took to travel that distance.
For example, an object goes in a circle, at a speed of 50 km/hour. The average speed is 50 km/hour; the average velocity is zero.
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 total distance by the total time of a moving object is the average speed of the object. If the moving object is a train that makes a few stops along its route, it will have some kind of average speed associated with its journey. An investigator will find the average speed by dividing the total distance it traveled by the total time that has elapses since it left point A to get to point B.
No, it can't. Average VELOCITY can be zero, though.
