Assuming this is from the Domino Dash science lab worksheet....
the effect of distance on speed would be:
the speed will depend on the distance, because your destination for example would be from let's say your house to the store. The store is your destination. the distance between is 200 km. to get there in 5 minutes, you need to go, say, 40 km a minute.
So, depending on your distance, your speed will differ, but it also depends on time.
**personal note: I'm only a student, and i didn't understand this question. it didnt explain it in my book.
Distance does not change the speed of objects.
it may tell the speed of the moving object
Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. ... An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.
By measuring the distance and time
It can measured by calculating distance covered by the moving object in certain period of time.
The average speed of an moving object is determined by using the formula velocity=distance/time or v=d/t.
Distance = rate x time. Rate as in speed.
slow the object down or speed it up
speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves per time unit (seconds,minutes hours)
Distance traveled divided by the time it took.
as the moving object covers some distance in some interval of time and average speed is obtained by dividing the total distance travelled by total time taken
In the case of constant speed: distance = speed x time For variable speed: speed = ds/dt, where "s" is the object's position.
