The rate that you cover a distance is your speed. Speed is a measure of the distance traveled per unit time. If your units are meters and seconds, then your speed would be in meters/second.

To find the speed of something you divide the distance it traveled by the time it took to travel that distance.

For example if something traveled 40 meters in 10 seconds its speed would be (40 meters)/(10 seconds) = 4 meters/second

How do you calculate miles per hour for a certain distance?

The rate equals the distance divided by the time it takes to cover the distance. If you go 6 miles in 2 hours, the rate is 3 miles an hour.


What is speed and how do you find the speed?

Speed is the rate at which an object moves in a certain direction. To find the speed of an object, you would divide the distance traveled by the time taken to cover that distance. The formula for speed is speed = distance/time.


What is the relationship with speed and distANCE?

The faster you go, the more distance you can cover in the same ammount of time than if you were going slower or the faster you can cover a certain distance.


Why does speed describe a rate?

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. ... An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.


What are two components of speed?

They are distance and time. As speed is a certain ditsance per time taken to cover that distance.


How fast are you travelling if you cover 22.03 meters in 3.8 seconds?

Distance = Rate * Time Manipulated algebraically, Rate = Distance/Time Rate = 22.03 meters/3.8 seconds = 5.8 meters per second =================


What is a rate in math?

A rate is a ratio which measures a certain variable in an amount of time. The most common rate would be distance / time (which measures speed).

What is the definetion of speed?

Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. It is a scalar quantity that is calculated as the distance traveled divided by the time taken to cover that distance. Speed does not have a specific direction associated with it.


How do you do distance rate and time problems?

Generally: RATE = DISTANCE / TIME -or- DISTANCE = RATE * TIME -or- TIME = DISTANCE / RATE qed


What is the rate of motion over distance?

The rate of motion over distance is known as speed. It is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to cover that distance. Speed is typically measured in units like meters per second, miles per hour, or kilometers per hour.


What is found by dividing distance by velocity?

Dividing distance by velocity gives the time taken to cover that distance. This is known as the time taken to travel a certain distance at a particular speed.
