Distance (Velocity, Time)

The Distance (Velocity, Time) calculator uses the equation Δx = v • Δt to compute the distance (Δx) as a function of time traveling (Δt) at a constant velocity (v).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (v)  Constant Velocity
• (Δt)   Duration

Distance (Δx): The distance is returned in meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to other length or distance units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for distance traveled is:

Δx = v ⋅ Δt

where

• Δx = distance travelled
• v = constant velocity
• Δt = duration of time

This is a special case of the more general distance equation, where the initial displacement, x₀, is zero.

• Compute Duration (Time) of Free Fall
• Compute Distance (Height) of Free Fall
• Compute Final Velocity of a Free Fall
• Compute the time from the distance and velocity.
• Compute the velocity from the distance and time.
• Compute the distance from the velocity and time.
• Distance from initial displacement, velocity and time
• Distance from initial displacement, velocity, time and constant acceleration
