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.

∙ 8y agoThe distance an object travels per unit of time is called its speed, or velocity if you are also considering its direction of travel. This could be measured in meters per second, kilometers per hour, inches per year or any other unit of measure that divides distance by time.

∙ 6y agoIn physics, that is called:* Speed, when no direction is specified.
* Velocity, when a direction IS specified.

What is a measure of motion defined as distance traveled per unit of time called?
Speed.
In which circumstances is displacement is the same as distance traveled?
When the motion is in a straight line.
What term is defined as a measure of the energy motion of particles in a substance?
temperature
What is velocity quantity?
The average speed of an object is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. Velocity is a vector quantity, and average velocity can be defined as the displacement divided by the time. For the special case of straight line motion in the x direction, the average velocity takes the form:
What term is defined as a measure of the energy of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Temperature.
What is a measure of motion defined as distance traveled per unit of time?
speed
What is a measure of motion defined as distance traveled per unit of time called?
Speed.
How the hell do you measure motion?
You can measure distance traveled, energy used or work done.
When does distance traveled equal the magnitude of displacement vector?
Distance traveled is equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector when the motion is in a straight line.
Total distance traveled by the total time in motion is the?
Average velocity.
In which circumstances is displacement is the same as distance traveled?
When the motion is in a straight line.
Under what condition the distance and displacement are equal?
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line.
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred?
It gives speed.
Distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred?
Average speed
