Distance - constant velocity

Processing...

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.

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
