How far an object travels in a certain period of time is?
Relative or apparent motion.
What speed occurs when an object travels at a steady rate for a period of time?
Constant speed.
How do you know that a moving object is accelerate?
Either one of the following observations tells you that an object is accelerating: -- Three points in the object's path are not in a straight line. -- The distance the object travels in a period of time is not the same as the distance it travels in another period of the same duration.
The distance an object travels per unit of time is called what?
That's the object's "speed". (NOT velocity.)
Is the distance an object travels in one unit of time called acceleration?
No, the distance an object travels in unit time is called speed. The distance travelled per unit time in a specified direction is called velocity. The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration.
The distance an object travels per unit of time is called?
Speed. The equation to find speed is distance over time.
What speed occurs when an object travels at a steady rate with the same instantaneous speed for some period of time?
Constant Speed
What is time taken by an object to complete one oscillation called?
time period
What it the distance an object travels in a certain period of time without regard to direction?
The distance an object travels in a certain period of time without regard to direction is known as the object's displacement. Displacement is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (length) and direction. It is calculated by subtracting the initial position of the object from its final position. For example, if an object starts at position (2, 4) and ends at position (6, 8), the displacement would be (4, 4). Displacement is a vector quantity It has both magnitude (length) and direction It is calculated by subtracting the initial position of the object from its final positionTo put it simply, displacement is the distance an object travels in a certain period of time without regard to direction.
What is the total distance an object travels divided by the total time it takes to travel that distance?
That's the definition of the object's average speedduring that period of time.Note: Not velocity. That's something different.
Distance an object travels in a certain direction in a certain time?
The velocity of the object.
Distance an object travels per unit of time is?
That's the object's speed.
