Question

Which of the following is equal to distance divided by time?

A. Displacement
B. Acceleration
C. Velocity
D. Speed

Answer 1

The answer is D. Speed. The equation for speed is distance/time. For example, If I were to travel 60 miles in two hours, to find the average speed, you would divide 60 by 2, to get 30 miles/hour.

Answer 2

To find Speed you divide distance by time.

Reasoning:

Displacement is the change in an object's position from the origin.

To find Acceleration you use the equation a=v^2/r

To find Velocity you divide the distance by the time it takes to travel that distance, then you add your direction to it.

To find speed you use distance is over time
