v=d/t
Algebra can be used to isolate for the t value:
Multiply by t: vt=d
Then, divide by v: t=d/v
Now, simply plug in the given values for the variables, and solve.

∙ 12y agoaverage velocity is distance/time (metres per second)
precise velocity can be calculated from a maths expression such as d = t^2
where velocity is slope of graph at any point , using differential calculus

∙ 14y agodistance = velocity x time
if you are using different units, use the link i attached to convert them.
well im doing double award higher tier physics im doing my Gcse's well my mocks first, one exam i picked said Distance = area under
which i dont get because the graph shows velocity and time and i knew that distance = velocity x time so what gives with dividing it by 2??

You divide the distance by 1/2 and that is the final answer.

If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?
Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)
How do you find distance with uniform velocity time final velocity and initial velocity?
If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.
How is the velocity-time graph related to the distance traveled?
The product of velocity and time yields distance travelled if the velocity is constant for the time in question. If velocity is not constant, one must first calculate the average velocity over a given time period before multiplying it by the time involved.
Calculate distance from a velocity time graph?
The area between the graph and the x-axis is the distance moved. If the velocity is constant the v vs t graph is a straight horizontal line. The shape of the area under the graph is a rectangle. For constant velocity, distance = V * time. Time is the x-axis and velocity is the y-axis. If the object is accelerating, the velocity is increasing at a constant rate. The graph is a line whose slope equals the acceleration. The shape of the graph is a triangle. The area under the graph is ½ * base * height. The base is time, and the height is the velocity. If the initial velocity is 0, the average velocity is final velocity ÷ 2. Distance = average velocity * time. Distance = (final velocity ÷ 2) * time, time is on the x-axis, and velocity is on the y-axis. (final velocity ÷ 2) * time = ½ time * final velocity ...½ base * height = ½ time * final velocity Area under graph = distance moved Most velocity graphs are horizontal lines or sloping lines.
How do you calculate time when given distance and initial velocity?
That is not possible. You would have to know one more thing, such as therate of acceleration or the distance.Take a step back and think for a moment about what you're asking.I'll make up an example that illustrates the situation you've described:I left my house driving north at 20 miles per hour, and arrived at my officedriving east at 40 miles per hour. How long did the trip from my home tomy office take me ?Can you see now why it's not possible ?
How do you calculate acceleration from distance and time?
Acceleration= Distance/time (distance divided by time) That's the dumbest answer I've ever heard.. Acceleration = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity/Time Velocity = Displacement/Time So you can't calculate acceleration from distance and time, you can only do velocity.
Is it true that to calculate acceleraltion you need to know both the final and the initial velocity of an object?
No. That's only one of several possibilities. -- with initial velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with final velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with force and mass, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final momentum, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final kinetic energy, you can calculate acceleration -- with mass, velocity at either end, and kinetic energy at the other end, you can calculate acceleration And I'm sure there are several more that I've missed.
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?
Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)
How do you calculate an objects acceleration?
Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)
How do you calculate tota distance traveled when given velocity time and acceleration?
Assuming constant acceleration: distance = v(0) t + (1/2) a t squared Where v(0) is the initial velocity.
How to calculate if time and initial velocity are given?
This is difficult. We are not told what it is we are to calculate. We are not told how the velocity is changing (which it does, implied by the word "initial"). Suggest re-writing the question.
How do you find a final velocity without distance but given time?
Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.
The rate of the velocity of an object?
To calculate the velocity of an object you can use the formula v=d/t. v=velocity, d=distance, and t=time. You can also calculate velocity using a=change in v/change in t, v(final)=v(initial)+at, v(average)=v(final)+v(initial)/2, or v(final)^2=v(initial)^2+2ad, or p=mv.
What formula is used to calculate accleration?
Accelaration= change in velocity/time taken OR Acceleration=final velocity- initial velocity/time taken
How do you find initial acceleration.?
The initial acceleration of an object can be found by calculating the change in velocity over time. This can be done by dividing the final velocity by the time taken to reach that velocity. The formula for initial acceleration is: initial acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
Quadratic equation in real life?
One example... X = 1/2 A t2 + V0 t + X0 Where X is distance, A is acceleration, t is time, V0 is initial velocity, and X0 is initial distance. This allows you to calculate where you would be given a starting position, velocity, and acceleration, after a specified time, such as in an automobile.
Which of the following sets of measurements can be used to calculate acceleration?
change in time, initial velocity and final velocity
