Question

To calculate the _____ of a moving object, divide the displacement by the time interval in which the displacement occurred.

Answer 1

Hello!

To calculate the speed(velocity) of a moving object, we can divide the displacement by the time interval in which the displacement occurred.

This is based off the formula:
v=d/t

Where v=velocity, d=total displacement, t=Time interval

Hope this helps. Any question please just ask. Thank you kindly.

Answer 2

Answer: Speed

Explanation: Scalar quantity is the quantity that only possess magnitude but no direction.

Vector quantity is the quantity that only possess magnitude as well as direction.

Speed is defined as the displacement of an object per unit time and is a scalar quantity as it does not involve any direction.

Velocity is defined as the distance moved by an object per unit time and is a vector quantity as it deals with magnitude as well as direction.
