Scientists use Kilometers to measure distance traveled by a car
The rate that you cover a distance is your speed. Speed is a measure of the distance traveled per unit time. If your units are meters and seconds, then your speed would be in meters/second. To find the speed of something you divide the distance it traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. For example if something traveled 40 meters in 10 seconds its speed would be (40 meters)/(10 seconds) = 4 meters/second
S=d/t It's an Equation to show how to calculate the speed which would be the distance the object has traveled divided by the time is traveled for. Here's an Example: My Car traveled 10 miles in 10 hours so my speed would be 1mph as Distance: 10 miles divided by Time: 10 hours gives me 1mph.
A: you need to measure the distance traveled ( a ruler/ tape measure) the angle of the ramp ( a protractor) and how long it took to roll the given distance ( a stop watch or cameras liked to a timer or reed switches linked to a clock so you can get an accurate start and stop time) . The Distance traveled divided by time taken will give you the speed E;G 1 meter traveled in a second = 1meter a second, and 2 meters in a second = 2 meters a second ,and 60 meters in 20 seconds = 3 meters a second ( do this in meters per second) .You can then work out how many kilometers an hour it has traveled. But it all depends on how scientific you want to get - but for basic high school stuff just a way of measuring the angel of the ramp and a way of measuring the length travele!d
Not possible. The displacement could be equal to the distance traveled ... if the route of travel was a straight line ... or less than the distance traveled ... if the route of travel was wavy and wiggly. But you can never wind up farther from your starting point than the distance you travel.
The time does affect the distance traveled because the longer you allow something to go, the farther its going to go. the other way around would be the longer you let it to, the longer its going to take. So time DOES affect the distance traveled.
No. Odometer measure the traveled distance of a wheeled vehicle. A ruler or a vernier caliper would be better for measuring a baseball.
No. The average speed would be the distance traveled divided by the elapsed time.
A metric ruler.
usually miles
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.

Scientists have to measure things accurately or else science would be pointless,
By measuring the distance between them on the map and comparing that distance on the scale.
S=d/t It's an Equation to show how to calculate the speed which would be the distance the object has traveled divided by the time is traveled for. Here's an Example: My Car traveled 10 miles in 10 hours so my speed would be 1mph as Distance: 10 miles divided by Time: 10 hours gives me 1mph.
Think about it. If you travel for more time, would you advance a greater distance (that would be a direct proportion), or less distance (that would be an inverse proportion)?
Well, it would be the number of miles traveled divided by the number of days taken to travel it. In this case: X/76 = D Where X is the distance traveled and D is the distance traveled each day.
