As there are the 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m 10,000m races, I think metres is a good measurement to use.

Track races are normally run round a 400m track, so the longer races are measured using a count of 400m laps, for example 1500m is 3 3/4 laps of a 400m track.

The one exception could possibly be the marathon which is not run around a track and which at 26 miles 385 yards is about 42195m = 42.195km and kilometres would be a better measurement.

How can you figure out somethings average speed?

Measure the total distance travelled (d) over a period of time (t). Then, the average speed is d/t in the appropriate units.


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.


Speed is the measure of motion over time?

Speed is the measure of distance over time.


What is total distance over total time called?

Total distance over total time is called average speed. It is a measure of the overall rate of motion of an object during a certain period of time.


What is velocity and how is it calculated as the distance traveled over a specific period of time?

Velocity is a measure of how fast an object is moving in a specific direction. It is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. The formula for velocity is velocity distance/time.


What item is used as both a distance multiplier and a speed multiplier?

The item used as both a distance multiplier and a speed multiplier in mathematics is the unit of a "mile." It is a unit of length that can be used to measure distances, and it is also commonly used in calculating speed where it is combined with time to measure the distance traveled over a specific time period.


What Is the measure of the force that is applied over a distance?

The product of the force and the distance is called "work". It is equivalent to a transfer of mechanical energy.


What is a measure of how fast something is moving over a distance?

Speed is equal to distance divided by time Algebraically s = d/t To do this mechanically, you need a clock/watch to measure the time. and some form of distance measure e.g. ruler, or mile posts. In a motor car you have the speedometer and odometer. They measure the speed at any given moment, and the distance travelled.


What experiment would you do to show how the amount of distance affects velocity over a period of time?

I am not sure how you would do that. However, it is relatively simple to set up an experiment to show that velocity (over a period of time) affects distance. Select an object whose velocity can be changed from one constant value to another. Alternatively, select a set of objects that can travel at different, but constant, velocities. Measure the distance travelled by each object in the chosen time period (or have a race).


-How much distance is traveled over a period of time?

Distance traveled over a period of time is calculated by multiplying the speed of travel by the time spent traveling. This formula represents the basic principle of distance = speed x time.


What does displacement time measure?

Displacement-time measures an object's change in position with respect to time. It gives information about the object's location or distance traveled over a certain time period.
