A light year is considered a distance and not a time interval because it is an astronomical unit of length equal to just under 10 trillion kilometers. A light year is a measure of distance and not time.

If a body dropped from rest has a constant acceleration in free fall is the distance traveled by the body the same for each time interval?

No, the distance traveled by the body in free fall is not the same for each time interval. The distance traveled increases with time because the body accelerates due to gravity. This means that the body covers more distance in each subsequent time interval.


How does distance from the epicenter affect the s-p waves time interval?

The distance from the epicenter affects the S-P wave time interval because seismic waves travel at different speeds. P-waves (primary waves) are faster than S-waves (secondary waves), so as the distance from the epicenter increases, the time gap between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave (the S-P time interval) also increases. This time interval is used to calculate the distance to the earthquake's epicenter, allowing seismologists to locate it accurately. Thus, a greater distance results in a longer S-P time interval.


What is the distance traveled over a given time interval?

Distance traveled over a given time interval is determined by multiplying the speed at which the object is moving by the duration of time it has been moving. The formula to calculate distance is distance = speed x time.


What is average speed definition?

The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance traveled by the object divided by the duration of the interval.

What is the distance traveled over a period of time?

It is the product (multiplication) of the average speed and the time interval.
