Uniform Linear Motion - Distance
Uniform Linear Motion - Distance
\[d = v t\]
Variables
d = distance traveled (m)
v = velocity (m/s)
t = time elapsed (s)
Description
What is this formula?
This formula calculates the distance traveled by an object moving at constant velocity in a straight line.
When to use it
Use this equation when the velocity remains constant and there is no acceleration during the motion.
Example
If a car moves at 20 m/s for 15 s:
d = 20 × 15 = 300 m
Applications
Transportation analysis, motion calculations, industrial automation, conveyor systems, and introductory physics.
