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 the
rate 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 office
driving east at 40 miles per hour. How long did the trip from my home to
my office take me ?
Can you see now why it's not possible ?

∙ 12y agoThat's truly a tough one. Particularly if you've been skipping the homework, or not
paying attention in class.
Final velocity = (Initial velocity) + (acceleration) x (time).Surely, you can massage this around to solve it for 'time'.Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe fact that you are given an initial velocity and not just velocity suggests that the motion is accelerated. In that case there is not sufficient information to calculate the time.

How do you calculate distance when given velocity and weight?
More information is needed.
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 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.
How do you calculate velocity?
given distance- 200km time-5 hours speed- distance/time 200/5 40km/hr Divide distance by time for speed Divide speed by distance for time Multiply speed and time for distance Those are three ways to make sure you have it right Average Velocity = (change in position) / (elapsed time) Instantaneous Velocity = [limit as elapsed time approaches 0] (change in position) / (elapsed time) Velocity is measured in m/s+ direction
What is the time when you are given velocity and distance?
Velocity is in distance/time, so multiplied by 1/distance would give you 1/time. Hope this helps!
How do you calculate acceleration when given velocity and distance?
v2 - u2 = 2as so that a = (v2 - u2)/2s where u = initial velocity v = final velocity s = distance a = acceleration
How do you find the initial velocity given only distance?
You cannot.
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 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 do you find time when initial and ending velocity is given?
There is not enough information to calculate the answer.
Is it possible to calculate distance when given velocity and weight?
yes...
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 the final velocity given only distancetimeand initial velocity?
v = 2s/t - u where u=initial velocity, v=final velocity, s = distance and t = time
How do you calculate distance when given velocity and weight?
More information is needed.
How do you find the acceleration and initial velocity given only the distance and time?
If you are only given total distance and total time you cannot. If you are given distance as a function of time, then the first derivative of distance with respect to time, ds/dt, gives the velocity. Evaluate this function at t = 0 for initial velocity. The second derivative, d2s/dt2 gives the acceleration as a function of 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.
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.
