Distance - constant velocity

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

Motion Calculators:

• 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
