A speed. If the direction is relevant, a velocity.
Velocity.
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
speed
distance traveled = speed multiplied by time taken.
Speed = Distance/Time
(change in distance) divided by (time interval) = the object's average speed during that time interval.
For a free-falling object, you can calculate the total distance traveled, given the amount of time. The distance of the fall is proportional to the square of the time elapsed. In general, distance can be found by the relationship between acceleration and time squared. If we let a be acceleration, which can be gravity if you want, and t be time, then we have: The distance traveled = 1/2 * a * t2 The distance traveled = 1/2 * g* t2
Speed
Velocity.
In physics, Power is the amount of work done in a given amount of time. (Note: Work, in the scientific sense, is the amount of force multiplied by vertical distance traveled.)
time and distance traveled over that amount of time
If you divide he distance by the time, and take into account the direction traveled, you will get the AVERAGE velocity during the time considered.

If you divide he distance by the time, and take into account the direction traveled, you will get the AVERAGE velocity during the time considered.
There are two ways to find the distance traveled. One is to measure the distance traveled. The other is to measure the distance raveled within a certain amount of time and then multiply to find how far it will travel in the future.
