The quotient is the quantity known as "speed".
(NOT velocity.)
velocity
The distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance gives the average speed. This value represents the rate at which an object moves over a given distance in a specific amount of time.
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
D/t = rate (Speed, velocity, etc)
Distance traveled divided by time taken. (s=d/t)
Average speed is distance traveled divided by time taken.
The object's total distance traveled divided by the total time it traveled is its average speed.
Very simple: Distance traveled divided by time taken to travel that distance = average speed .
velocity means the distance traveled in certain time and in a certain direction. Therefore: velocity is the result of dividing the traveled distance by time taken, and adding a direction to it.
Rate of travel = (distance traveled) divided by (time traveled)
Average speed is distance traveled divided by time taken.
Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to travel that distance. It is a measure of how quickly an object is covering a certain amount of ground.
