Velocity is measured in metres per second, to find how many metres a body has travelled you need t know the length of time it was moving for.
If a body moves at 10 metres per second for 5 seconds, how far does it travel?
It goes 10 metres every second, so in 5 seconds it must go 5 times 10 metres; 50 metres.
You need to multiply the velocity by the time taken. (m/s) X s = m.

How do you find the initial velocity given only the distance and the time traveled?
You can't. You need either the final velocity or the acceleration of the object as well, and then you can substitute the known values into a kinematics equation to get the initial velocity.
How do you find braking distance when given velocity and reaction distance?
Decrease ..
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.
How do you find number of rotations given the diameter of a circle and the distance traveled?
Divide the distance traveled by the product of the diameter and pi.
How do you find velocity when given the time and mass?
You can't. The mass is irrelevant to velocity. You need the distance.
How do you find the distance given only the initial velocity traveled time and final velocity?
You can only know the distance for sure if acceleration or deceleration is constant. Add the start and end velocities and divide by two and then multiply by the time to get your distance.

How do you find the velocity when only distance given?
You cannot.

How do you find number of rotations given the diameter of a circle and the distance traveled?
Divide the distance traveled by the product of the diameter and pi.
How do you find velocity time in physics and what does it tell you?
Velocity is defined as distance traveled (directed distance, to be precise), divided by time. Informally, it tells you how fast something goes.
How do you find the initial velocity given only distance?
You cannot.
How do you find velocity when given the time and mass?
You can't. The mass is irrelevant to velocity. You need the distance.
How do you find the acceleration if time is not given?
To find the acceleration if the time is not given, you will need to know the velocity and the distance. Then, use this equation: d = vt + (1/2)at2 to solve the problem by plugging in your numbers for the distance and the velocity.
What is the formula to find the average speed of a given distance and time?
Distance = time * average speed (velocity) Average speed = Distance/time
How to find out the velocity when acceleration and distance is given?
The equation that does involve time is.. v² = v₀² + 2ad
