yes, if you mean that speed=distance divided by time, also known as distance/time

Which three aspects help to determine speed?

Speed is the mathematical combination of the distance you traveled and the time you took to do it.


Emily jogs 3 laps at the track to warm up. she jogs at 5mph. then she runs 3 more laps at 7 mph. what is true about her average speed and her average velocity?

Her average speed is greater than her average velocity.


What is the relation between instantaneous speed and instantaneous velocity?

If I drive away from my house at 8:00 in the morning and return at 6:00 PM that same evening with 50 more miles showing on the car, you know immediately that my average speed for the day was 5 mph. But you don't know a thing about how much of that time I was stopped, how much in motion, or what my speed was at any moment between 8 and 6, because there's no necessary relationship between instantaneous and average speed. I guess it's probably true to say that there has to be some instant during any period of time when the instantaneous speed must be equal to the average speed during the same period. That sounds like a nice theorem, and its proof ought to be good for some mathematical recreation, but it doesn't seem too useful.


Average speed is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant?

No. Average speed is the rate an object is moving measured over more than an instant, such as one second, one minute, or something like that. Instantaneous speed, however, is the limit of the average speed as the interval of time approaches zero, i.e. at a given instant.


What is speed of motion?

The average speed of motion is when speed is changing. Speed equals total distance divided by total travel time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.

Average speed can be represented by the mathematical expression?

Average speed can be represented by the mathematical expression "distance x time."


What is mathematical expression of speed?

speed = distance / time Algebrucally s = d/t


What can you conclude about the relationship between distancetime and average speed?

The average speed of an object is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. Therefore, there is a direct relationship between distance, time, and average speed. If the distance traveled increases while the time taken remains constant, the average speed will increase. Conversely, if the time taken to travel a certain distance increases, the average speed will decrease.

How does computer do math so fast?

The speed at which a computer executes mathematical operations is very fast compared to, say, mental arithmetic in an average human's brain, because the computer uses specialized hardware to perform elementary arithmetic and trigonometric mathematical operations at extremely high speed, and very high clock frequencies which allow combining many of those elementary operations into more complex mathematical operations.


When are speed and average speed the same?

Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.


Is average speed the same as speed?

Average Speed is different from average speed becoz speed is particular while avera speed is the total distance divided from time

Average speed is indicated on the speedometer?

I would call it current speed, not average speed.
