Question
average speed is found by _______. multiplying total distance traveled by the total time multiplying the displacement by the total time spent dividing the displacement by the total time spent dividing total distance traveled by the total time
Average speed is a scalar quantity. It is calculated by taking the total distance traveled (a scalar - the length of the path taken) and dividing it by the total time taken. Displacement is a vector quantity and is used to calculate average velocity, not average speed.
