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 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 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 velocity when given the time and mass?
You can't. The mass is irrelevant to velocity. You need the distance.
What is the distance that the object travels in the first 5 seconds?
To find the distance traveled in the first 5 seconds, we multiply the average velocity by the time traveled. If the object's velocity is constant, this distance is equal to the velocity multiplied by the time.
How do you find the distance given only the initial velocity traveled time and final velocity?
You can use the equation: distance = (initial velocity + final velocity) / 2 * time. This formula assumes constant acceleration.
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 the distance if only the final velocity and the acceleration is given?
You can find the distance using the equation: distance = (final velocity)^2 / (2 * acceleration). Square the final velocity, divide it by twice the acceleration to get the distance traveled before coming to a stop.
How do you find braking distance when given velocity and reaction distance?
Decrease ..
What is the equation used to find the velocity or speed of an object?
The equation used to find the velocity of an object is v = d/t, where v is the velocity, d is the distance traveled, and t is the time taken to travel that distance.
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 the velocity when only distance given?
You cannot.
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 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.
