Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves to
A
the amount of time needed to travel the distance.
B
the direction the object moves.
C
the displacement of the object.
D
the motion of the object.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Speed of a body is the distance covered by the body per unit time i.e. Speed = Distance/Time. Speed: Speed is the rate at which a particular distance is covered by an object in motion. Time: Time is an interval separating two events.

Detailed explanation-2: -Speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves to the amount of time the object moves. The SI unit of speed is meters per second (m/s). Two ways to express the speed of an object are average speed and instantaneous speed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The basic formula says Speed= Distance/Time . From this formula, it is evident that speed is directly proportional to distance and inversely proportional to time.

Detailed explanation-4: -Average Speed-the average of all instantaneous speeds; found simply by a distance/time ratio.

Detailed explanation-5: -The speed of an object is the distance the object moves per unit of time. Speed is a type of rate.
