What is the speed of an object that travels from ( 8,-4,2) to ( 7,-3,6 ) over 3 s? Physics 1D Motion Displacement and Velocity 1 Answer ali ergin Feb 29, 2016 v=sqrt 2 m/s Explanation: "Distance the point (8,-4,2) and (7,-3,6) may be calculated using:" Delta x=sqrt((7-8)^2+(-3+4)^2+(6-2)^2)=sqrt(1+1+16)=sqrt 18 m "The speed of an object is given by :"v=(Delta x)/t v=sqrt 18/3 v=sqrt (9*2)/3 v=3*sqrt 2/3 v=sqrt 2 m/s Answer link Related questions What is the difference between distance and displacement?
