`dx = x_0 + v_0 * "t" `
Enter a value for all fields
The Distance - Constant Velocity calculator uses the equation, dx= x0+v0⋅t, to compute the total linear displacement (distance travelled).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose the preferred units and enter the following;
- (x0) This is the initial displacement.
- (v0) This is the initial velocity.
- (t) This is the duration of the motion or travel.
Distance: The calculator returns the distance in meters. However, this can be automatically converted to other length or distance units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
Motion under Constant Velocity
This calculator computes the distance an object travels as a function of time traveling at a constant initial velocity with the addition of an initial displacement (distance). This equation ignores external forces and so the object continues its motion at its initial constant velocity, `v_0`, as an expression of Newton's First Law.
where:
- `v_0` - Initial velocity at time t = 0
- `x_0` - initial displacement at time t = 0
- t - time of travel in the x-direction
