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
Margaret Ruecker
Distance/time = speed
this will result in speed
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
Assuming that "distance raveled" in the question should have read "distance traveled" instead, this is the definition of "speed".
velocity
Rate of travel = (distance traveled) divided by (time traveled)
(a distance traveled) divided by (time to travel the distance) is known as a "speed" .
distance travel divided by the time of travel
speed
Distance divided by time has the dimensions of speed (magnitude of velocity). The (distance an object travels) divided by (the time it takes to travel that distance) is a definition for the object's average speed.
If you take distance divided by rate you will get your time. Then if you take time by the rate you will get your distance.
Time equals distance divided by rate.
