v= s/t v= speed s=path t=time

to calculate the average speed you need the path the object is moving on and the time it took to pass it

What two things does average speed tell you?

Average speed tells you how fast an object is moving on average over a certain period. It also gives you an idea of the overall distance an object has traveled during that time.


What doesnt the average speed tell you?

There are lots of possible answers to that. It won't tell you things like the highest and lowest speeds reached during the measurement. It might not tell you the distance travelled, but it can be assumed that you would have that, along with the time taken to travel the distance. They would be important in order to work out an average speed.


Are members of highway patrol more interested in average speed or instantaneous speed?

As we know that the duty of highway patrol is to check that someone is not breaking the speed rule at highway. So they are more interested in to know that what is the instantaneous speed of your car because instantaneous speed tell about the speed of a car at any instant. They have no concern with average speed of your car.


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.


How do you find initial velocity if you have time and distance?

You can't. All you can tell from time and distance is the average speed during that time.


Formula for average speed?

average speed = distance / time


What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?

Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance


What is the equation of average speed?

Average speed = Total distance / Total time


When average velocity and average speed is equal?

For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.


When do you use average speed to measure?

Average speed can be used to measure the distance traveled by an object when the acceleration is constant. x = v * t. When acceleration is a constant, the average speed can be plugged into the equation with time to yield distance.
