It is purely a distance. If you say 5 miles per hour that is called a velocity, or speed. So the distance is velocity times time. If the velocity changes during the time interval, the distance is the sum of all the tiny distances multiplied by the velocity at each interval. If the path is curved, that's still OK, but the final distance from the start point will be less, and could even be zero.

Strictly speakin this is rate of change of displacement. However using calculus it would be ds by dt and is velocity (not speed).

What is distance compared to change of time?

Velocity is distance over time


Is acceleration the change of distance over time?

No, acceleration is the change in speed over time.


What is the relationship between distance and time interval?

V = d / tVelocity is the change in distance over an interval of time.


What are two words that describe the rate of motion of an object at a given point in time?

Velocity is the change of distance over change in time (distance/unit time) and Acceleration is the change in velocity/unit time.


How does distance change with time?

Velocity (distance in a particular direction) is speed over time. You should be able to use this formula to calculate how your distance changes with time.


Formula of speed?

Speed is equal to the change in distance over the change in time, or V = D/T where V is speed, D is distance and T is time.


Acceleration is the change in distance over time True or false?

False. Acceleration is a change of speed or direction over time.


What speed are distance and time?

I'm sorry, but what you ask is not logical. Speed/Velocity is the measure of change in distance over a period of time.


What does the slope of the line on distance over time graph tell us?

The slope of the line on distance vs time is the same as the change of distance with respect to time...which is called "speed".


What does the slop of a distance vs. time graph tell you?

The slope of a distance vs. time graph is a measure of the rate of change of the distance over time. It tells you the speed at which the distance is changing. If the slope is positive it means the distance is increasing with time. If the slope is negative it means the distance is decreasing with time. If the slope is zero it means the distance is not changing with time. Positive slope: distance is increasing with time. Negative slope: distance is decreasing with time. Zero slope: distance is not changing with time.The slope of the graph can be used to calculate the average speed of an object over a certain period of time. By taking the change in distance and dividing it by the change in time the average speed can be calculated.


A quantity that represents the rate of change of distance over a period of time?

Speed


How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?

speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
