In the equation V = d/t, what does 'd' refer to?

  1. Distance

  2. Velocity

  3. Time

  4. Acceleration

The correct answer is: Distance

In the equation V = d/t, 'd' refers to distance. This equation represents the relationship between velocity (V), distance (d), and time (t). Here, distance is the total path length traveled by an object. The formula indicates that velocity is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time it takes to cover that distance. Therefore, understanding 'd' as distance is essential for applying the formula correctly in physics and other related fields. The other choices do not correspond to the variable represented in the equation: velocity is 'V', time is 't', and acceleration is a different concept altogether.
