Question

How do you calculate the velocity of an object and the distance and object goes?

Answer 1

You calculate the velocity by dividing the distance on time

You calculate the distance by multiplying time by velocity

Answer 2

The speed of an object is calculated using the formula:

• Speed = distance / time

The distance traveled by an object, having the speed information is calculated using the formula:

• Distance = speed * time

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have noticed, when an object's speed is usually mentioned, it is given in units such as mile / hour or meters / second, this is because the speed is calculated using distance units (kilometers, miles, yards, meters) divided into units of time (hours, minutes, seconds), so the speed formula is:

• Speed = distance / time

Now, as you can see the speed formula contains the distance variable, if what you must calculate is the distance and you have the information about the speed, you can clear the distance of the same formula (remember that what you are dividing to one side of the equal, goes to the other side of the equal to multiply):

• Distance = speed * time
