Is distance directly proportional to velocity?

Distance Traveled is directly proportional to velocity. This is because velocity is the change in position over a period of time. The greater the velocity, the greater the distance traveled. For you calculus junkies, integrate velocity to get displacement.


The distance traveled by a car depends on the velocity of the car?

Distance(velocity), or D(v)


What is the distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance?

velocity


Why is velocity-displacement divided by time?

velocity means the distance traveled in certain time and in a certain direction. Therefore: velocity is the result of dividing the traveled distance by time taken, and adding a direction to it.


What is distance and direction traveled over time?

What is calculated by multiplying the time of travel by the distance traveled?

velocity.


What is the distance traveled in a certain amount of time called?

Velocity.


What can you determine if you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time?

Velocity Velocity= distance/time V=d/t


Total distance traveled by the total time in motion is the?

Average velocity.


If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?

no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared


What is distance traveled by the body in a given direction in the unit time called?
