That would be speed, or if it's in a specific direction, velocity.
Velocity?
Average Velocity
(change in distance) divided by (time interval) = the object's average speed during that time interval.
Speed is a measure of how quickly an object covers a certain distance. It is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance. Speed is a scalar quantity and is usually expressed in units such as meters per second or miles per hour.
A material's density is defined as its mass per unit volume. It is, essentially, a measuremement of how tightly matter is crammed together. The principle of density was discovered by the Greek scientist Archimedes.In kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity (the rate of change of its position); it is thus a scalar quantity. The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance traveled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is thelimit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero .
Speed
It gives speed.
Average speed
That is called average speed. If the direction is important (i.e., you need a vector), it is called velocity.Attn. supervisor -- Occurred is correct spelling [ in title ].
No. The total distance traveled divided by constant speed is the time interval.
The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance traveled by the object divided by the duration of the interval.
Average Velocity
(change in distance) divided by (time interval) = the object's average speed during that time interval.
False. Instantaneous speed is distance travelled divided by time, for a very short time interval. (Technically, you take the limit, when the time interval approaches zero.)
Speed is a measure of how quickly an object covers a certain distance. It is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance. Speed is a scalar quantity and is usually expressed in units such as meters per second or miles per hour.
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
Rate of travel = (distance traveled) divided by (time traveled)
To find the average speed you must know the total distance traveled and the total elapsed. The distance traveled in each interval is simply the speed multiplied by the time (v x t). Thus, in the first interval you travel 120 x 1 = 120 meters, in the second interval 120 x 6 = 720 meters; therefore, the total distance traveled is 840 meters. The total time elapsed is 120 + 120 = 240 seconds. An average speed is simply the total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed thus in this case it is 720 m / 240 s = 3 m/s.
