The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the relationship between average speed, time, and distance, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Distance (d)**: This is the total path length traveled, regardless of direction. It is a scalar quantity. - **Time (t)**: This is the duration over which the distance is traveled. - **Average Speed (v)**: This is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. ### Step 2: Write the Formula for Average Speed The formula for average speed can be expressed mathematically as: \[ v = \frac{d}{t} \] Where: - \( v \) is the average speed, - \( d \) is the total distance, - \( t \) is the total time. ### Step 3: Rearranging the Formula From the formula \( v = \frac{d}{t} \), we can rearrange it to express the relationship between distance, speed, and time: \[ d = v \cdot t \] This shows that distance is equal to average speed multiplied by time. ### Step 4: Identify the Correct Relation From the above derivation, we can conclude that the correct relationship among average speed, time, and distance is: - Total Distance = Average Speed × Total Time ### Conclusion The correct relation that represents the relationship between average speed, time, and distance is: \[ d = v \cdot t \]
