It is the distance of an object travels in the given amount of time?
speed
What is stantaneous speed?
Stantaneous speed is how fast an object moves at any given time.
When you measure the distance an object travels in a given amount of time you are measuring?
rate
What two things must you know to determine speed?
Speed is the rate at which an object moves. To determine the rate at which that object moves, we'll have to look at a given distance that it covered when it moved, and at the time it took to cover that distance. The distance per unit of time is the speed of the object.
The amount of distance traveled in a given amount of time measures what?
(change in distance) divided by (time interval) = the object's average speed during that time interval.
When does speed occur?
Speed occurs when a body moves with respect to some frame of reference.
Is the capacity the same as amount?
Capacity and amount are similar, yes but capacity is how much something can hold and amount means the substance.
What is the distance an object moves in a certain time?
speed
Is the total distance divided by the time taken an object's speed?
This will be true if the object moves with the same speed (a uniform speed) throughout all the time it is moving.If the object is a bus or train making stops along the way, total distance divided by the total time from a given point to another point is the average speed of the object for that interval.
When we can we say that an object is un motion?
That is equivalent to saying that:* The object moves, or * The object's position changes over time
What measures how fast an object moves in a period of time?
speed
What does velocity mean in terms of science?
How fast an object is travelling in a given direction.
