How can you use an object's velocity and the time it takes to travel a certain distance to determine its acceleration?

You would need to sample the velocity at at least two different points of time in order to determine how to velocity is changing. This is because velocity is the first order integral of acceleration, making acceleration the first order differential of velocity. Distance does not really enter into the equation as that is a second order factor, except that you can use distance traveled from one time to the next to estimate velocity

What can you determine if you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time?
Velocity Velocity= distance/time V=d/t
If you know the distance an object has traveles in a certain amount of time you can determine?
Velocity Velocity= distance/time V=d/t
If you know the distance an object has travled in a certain amount of time you can determine?
Velocity.
What is a change in velocity in a certain amount of time called?
Acceleration is any change in velocity during a length of time.
What is the acceleration of a skateboarder traveling 12m per sec?
Acceleration is independent of speed. If the instantaneous velocity of an object is 12m/s and no other information is known, it is impossible to tell the acceleration. However, if the velocity does not change at all over a certain time interval, the acceleration over that time interval is 0m/s2. If other information is given, such as initial/final velocity, time, or displacement, then one of the the "famous five" equations may be used to determine the acceleration.
What is the acceleration for linear motion?
Average Acceleration can be verbally defined as the change in velocity in a certain change in time... More simply put: Average Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / (Final Time - Initial Time)
Why is velocity-displacement divided by time?
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.
What is the speed of an object in a certain direction?
Speed is distance/time or distance per unit of time. It is velocity that is distance/time in a given direction. Velocity can be said to be speed in a certain direction.
If a person knows the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time they can determine the?
If you divide he distance by the time, and take into account the direction traveled, you will get the AVERAGE velocity during the time considered.
Can a body moving with certain velocity in the direction of east have acceleration in the direction of west?
Yes.
