D=RT, or in other words, to find the rate(R)(speed) of an object take the distance (D)traveled divided by the time(T).

What does the measurement of distance tell you about a moving object?
it may tell the speed of the moving object
What does velocity tell you about a moving object?
Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.
Does speed tell us what direction an object is moving?
Speed is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude and not direction. Hence, speed cannot tell us what direction an object is moving. However, velocity which is the vector equivalent of speed, can tell us the direction.
How can you use integers to represent the velocity and the speed of an object?
This was the essential question on a homework assignment. Speed tells how fast an object is moving but it does not tell the direction. Velocity tells how fast an object is moving and it also tells the direction. When velocity is positive, the object is moving up. When velocity is negative, the object is moving down.
How can you tell that an object is in motion?
it would be in the process of moving It depends on your perspective. If you were also moving in the same direction and at the same speed, is the object moving?
If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?
The speed of the object will increase.
What happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases
What happened to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases
Can you use average speed to calculate the speed of an object that is moving at a constant speed?
Yes. If an object is moving at a constant speed the average speed and the constant speed are the same.
How are velocity and acceleration different?
acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.
What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?
it means the object is moving at a constant speed
What are three ways an object can accelerate?
The 1 way you can tell an object is in motion is by having a focus point that does not move and watch and see if the object you are looking for is moving. Another way to notice where the object is now, then later, check and see if the object has been moving. lastly, if you are a scientist, you can use telescopes, computers, and the latest gadgets to tell you if an object is in motion.
