In determining velocity of any object in motion Why is it important to know the distance and the time the object traveled?
Velocity is equal to distance divided by time.
What is velocity of a car that travels 120 km in 2h?
Just divide the distance by the time. To know the velocity, you would also need to know in what direction the car travels.
How can you determine the speed of an object that has a constant motion if you know the distance the object traveled and the time it took?
You divide the distance by the time.You divide the distance by the time.You divide the distance by the time.You divide the distance by the time.
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
What do you need in order to know an objects velocity?
You need to know the distance traveled and the time it took to travel that distance.

What is velocity of a car that travels 120 km in 2h?
Just divide the distance by the time. To know the velocity, you would also need to know in what direction the car travels.
How do you find the distance given only the initial velocity traveled time and final velocity?
You can only know the distance for sure if acceleration or deceleration is constant. Add the start and end velocities and divide by two and then multiply by the time to get your distance.
How do you find time when you know the distance and the velocity?
distance/velocity = time
What is the velocity of a ship that traveled from London to New York in 6 days?
First you need to know the distance between London and New York, then divide the distance by the number of days (6) to calculate distance per day, then divide by 24 (hours per day) to calculate distance per hour (velocity per hour).
How do you find distance when you know the time and velocity?
Simple, velocity = distance by time ,which probably means distance = velocity X times.
What two things must you know to determine average speed?
To determine average speed, you need to know what distance the object traveled in meters over how long it took the object to travel that distance in seconds.
What is the average speed at t equals 20?
Assuming t is time, you need to know the distance traveled in time t. Then, divide the distance by time to obtain speed (velocity).
What is the velocity if time is 14.1 seconds?
The object's average speed during that time is (the distance it covered) divided by (14.1).You can't tell its velocity, unless you know something about the direction in which it moved.
How can you determine the speed of an object that has a constant motion if you know the distance the object traveled and the time it took?
You divide the distance by the time.You divide the distance by the time.You divide the distance by the time.You divide the distance by the time.
How do you find a final velocity without distance but given time?
Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.
How long would it take you to drive 238 miles?
That depends on the speed. If you know at what speed you will travel, divide the distance by the speed.That depends on the speed. If you know at what speed you will travel, divide the distance by the speed.That depends on the speed. If you know at what speed you will travel, divide the distance by the speed.That depends on the speed. If you know at what speed you will travel, divide the distance by the speed.
