What is the rate at which you cover a certain distance?

The rate that you cover a distance is your speed. Speed is a measure of the distance traveled per unit time. If your units are meters and seconds, then your speed would be in meters/second. To find the speed of something you divide the distance it traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. For example if something traveled 40 meters in 10 seconds its speed would be (40 meters)/(10 seconds) = 4 meters/second


What is a correct measure of velocity?

Velocity is measured by distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel. Unlike speed Velocity contains vectors, which means you can have a negative velocity. For example if a car traveled to the right 6 meters in 3 seconds velocity would be 2 meters per second or 2 m/s An example showing the vector (Direction) would be a car traveled 6 meters to the left in 3 seconds. -6/3= -2 m/s


In physics why is the displacement equal average velocity x change in time?

velocity is distance traveled per unit of time. If you multiply it by time traveled you get distance traveled.For example if you travel 10 meters in one second (velocity) for 20 seconds (time) you travel 10 x 20 = 200 meters


Formaular for speed?

distance traveled divided by time taken to travel that far.


If your driving 110 km along a straight road and you look to the side for 2 seconds how far do you travel during this inattentive period?

i am guessing you meant driving at the speed of 110 km/h if you meant something else then disregard this answer: i believe you traveled 30 meters

What is the meaning of change in position?

If an object moves from one place to another it has changed its position. For example, distance equals speed x time. If you travel at 3 feet per second for 10 seconds you have traveled 30 feet, or changed position by 30 feet.

If you traveled 495360 feet in an hour how many feet would you have traveled in 12 seconds?

Since one hour is 3600 seconds (60 minutes per hour times 60 seconds per minute), 12 seconds is 12 over 3600th of an hour, or 0.03333 of an hour. In 12 seconds, at 495360 feet per hour, you would travel about 1651 (495360 times 12 divided by 3600) feet.
