Question

total distance traveled divided by total time taken to travel that distance is called? (options: motion, average speed, velocity, acceleration)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Motion is the change in position, not a calculation of distance over time.
• Average Speed is defined as total distance traveled divided by total time taken.
• Velocity is displacement over time (includes direction), not distance.
• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, not distance over time.

Answer:

B. Average Speed
