Question

The velocity of an object is equal to the distance divided by time. The equation is velocity = distance/time. If you wanted to calculate the TIME required for an object to travel a distance and you knew the velocity, you would A) multiply: velocity X distance. B) subtract: velocity – distance. C) divide: distance ÷ velocity D) add: velocity + distance

Answer 1

Answer: C) divide: distance ÷ velocity

Explanation:

The velocity $V$ equation is distance $d$ divided by time $t$:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

If we isolate $t$ we will have:

$t=\frac{d}{V}$

Hence, the correct option is C: distance divided by velocity.
