If the distance of travel remains constant in every case, then the time required to cover the distance is inversely proportional to the speed of the particle. T = (constant) divided by (speed) or: (Time) x (Speed) = A constant, if the distance under consideration doesn't change. Note: This expression is a good approximation at everyday speeds. It becomes less accurate at speeds where relativistic effects become significant.

What is the slope of a line on a distance vs time graph?
It gives the speed of the moving particle.
Do the two terms wave speed and wave frequency refer to the same thing?
No, frequency is the function of peak/trough pairs per unit time. Speed is the measure of how long it takes to travel a given distance.
When does distance travelled by a particle is proportional to time?
It is proportional if the velocity doesn't change over time.
The total distance an object travels divided by the time of travel is?
speed
Can the speed of the particle ever be negative if so give an example if not explian why?
see speed cannot de negative se speed = distance / time and neithr distance nor time can be negative they r always positive so speed cannot be negative but velocity can be negative
What is the travel time of 154 miles?
That depends on the speed. After deciding how fast you will travel, divide the distance by the speed to get the time.That depends on the speed.

What is tachyon travel?
Well, tachyons are particles that travel faster than the speed of light. Travel could be referring to how they move across the universe (if they exist) or somehow splitting a object down to the atoms and attaching it to a tachyon particle and sending it through space and time.
What does slope of a speed time graph indicate?
it indicates the acceleration of the particle
Is speed always measured in terms of a unit of distance divide by a unit of time?
Speed is the time measured of travel over a known distance. For instance, driving at 60 mph means that in 1 hour you should have travelled 60 miles.
How can I time travel?
According to relativity theory, time stops for a particle when the speed of that particle reaches the speed of light in a vacuum. However, the theory of relativity also states that it is impossible for an object with nonzero mass to ever reach the speed of light in a vacuum. In other words: you can't, except in a few trivial instances such as photons, which are massless and already travel at the speed of light in a vacuum (er... at least, they do when they're in a vacuum). You may be asking about a video game, in which case it would help to know which one you're talking about. Video game physics are often quite different from real physics.
What does it mean to travel at a constant speed?
Travel at one speed for a period time e.g on a 30 mph road you would travel at a constant speed of 30 mph
What is the slope of a line on a distance vs time graph?
It gives the speed of the moving particle.
How do you calulate average speed?
Since speed is expressed in terms of distance and time (e.g., miles per hour or feet per second), average speed is derived by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time taken to travel that distance. For example, if it take 4 hours to travel 200 miles, average speed = 200 mi/4 hrs = 50 miles per hour.
What is distance traveled divided by the time needed to travel the distance or speed?
Distance/time = speed
Do the two terms wave speed and wave frequency refer to the same thing?
No, frequency is the function of peak/trough pairs per unit time. Speed is the measure of how long it takes to travel a given distance.
How would you measure a particle moving faster than the speed of light?
-- Detect the particle as it passes a mark on the floor of the laboratory. -- Detect the particle as it passes a second mark on the floor of the laboratory. -- Measure the time between the two events. -- Measure the distance between the two marks on the floor. -- Divide the distance by the time. -- The quotient is the speed of the particle between the two marks.
What is the distance travel divided by the time needed to travel that distance?
Speed Average speed- the total distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance Velocity is also the distance or displacement divided by the time
