The correct answer is: [D]:
___________
→ " The distance traveled by an object in a certain time."
___________
Explanation:
Choice: [A]: "the mass multiplied by the acceleration of an object."
refers to: "force". " F = m*a " . → Rule out: Choice: [A].
___________
Choice: [B]: "the force on an object divided by the mass of an object."
refers to: "acceleration". " F /m = a ". → Rule out: Choice: [B].
___________
Choice: [C]: "the distance an object travels at a certain velocity."
refers to: " the time period traveled at a specific speed AND direction."
___________
Choice: [D]: " the distance traveled by an object in a certain time"."
refers to: "speed". → which is our answer!
___________
Note: " speed = distance / time "; That is: " s = d/t " ;
Note that for "speed" ; the "direction of travel is irrelevant."
→ So; we can rule out: "Choice: [C]."
___________
The correct answer is: Answer choice: [D]:
→ " the distance traveled by an object in a certain time."
