How do you calculate your average speed for a trip

Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 349 People

*please please help* Suppose you are going on a car trip with your family.

1. How could you determine the average speed for the first day of the trip? Be specific.2. How could you determine the instantaneous speed during the trip? Be specific.

Answered by admin @


(1) To determine the average speed, divide the total distance by the total time of motion.

(2) To determine the instantaneous speed, check the car speed at the time of interest.  

Average speed is determined by dividing total distance traveled by the total time of motion.

  • The average speed of the first day trip will be determined if you know the total distance and total time of motion for the first trip.
  • When you divide this distance by the time of the motion, you would have calculated your average speed.

The instantaneous speed is the speed at a specific time during the motion. Thus, to determine the your instantaneous speed, check the speed of the motion at the time of interest.
