Question
What is the equation used to calculate a moving object’s average speed?(1 point)
Responses
average speed = highest speed ÷
total time
average speed = highest speed divided by total time
average speed = highest speed −
lowest speed
average speed = highest speed negative lowest speed
average speed = total distance traveled ÷
total time traveled
average speed = total distance traveled divided by total time traveled
average speed = total time traveled ×
total distance traveled
average speed = total time traveled times total distance traveled
1 answer
The correct response to the question about the equation used to calculate a moving object’s average speed is:
average speed = total distance traveled ÷ total time traveled
This equation indicates that average speed is found by dividing the total distance an object has traveled by the total time it took to travel that distance.
