It is purely a distance. If you say 5 miles per hour that is called a velocity, or speed. So the distance is velocity times time. If the velocity changes during the time interval, the distance is the sum of all the tiny distances multiplied by the velocity at each interval. If the path is curved, that's still OK, but the final distance from the start point will be less, and could even be zero.

What is distance compared to change of time?

Velocity is distance over time


Is acceleration the change of distance over time?

No, acceleration is the change in speed over time.


Acceleration is the change in distance over time True or false?

False. Acceleration is a change of speed or direction over time.


What is the relationship between distance and time interval?

V = d / tVelocity is the change in distance over an interval of time.


How does the distance over time change in a moving object?

The distance over time changes in a moving object as it travels at a constant speed, resulting in a linear relationship where the distance increases proportionally with time.


How does distance change with time?

Velocity (distance in a particular direction) is speed over time. You should be able to use this formula to calculate how your distance changes with time.


Formula of speed?

Speed is equal to the change in distance over the change in time, or V = D/T where V is speed, D is distance and T is time.


How does the unit of time enter twice in the unit of acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. Since velocity is distance over time, acceleration becomes distance over time squared. This is why time enters twice in the unit of acceleration as distance per time squared.


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.


How does the distance traveled by an object change as a function of time?

The distance traveled by an object changes over time based on its speed and direction of motion. This change can be described by the object's velocity, which is the rate of change of its position with respect to time.


What does the slop of a distance vs. time graph tell you?

The slope of a distance vs. time graph is a measure of the rate of change of the distance over time. It tells you the speed at which the distance is changing. If the slope is positive it means the distance is increasing with time. If the slope is negative it means the distance is decreasing with time. If the slope is zero it means the distance is not changing with time. Positive slope: distance is increasing with time. Negative slope: distance is decreasing with time. Zero slope: distance is not changing with time.The slope of the graph can be used to calculate the average speed of an object over a certain period of time. By taking the change in distance and dividing it by the change in time the average speed can be calculated.
