The Distance - Constant Velocity  calculator uses the equation, dx= x0+v0⋅t, to compute the total linear displacement (distance travelled).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose the preferred units and enter the following;

• (x0) This is the initial displacement.
• (v0)  This is the initial velocity.
• (t)  This is the duration of the motion or travel.

Distance:  The calculator returns the distance in meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to other length or distance units via the pull-down menu.

Motion under Constant Velocity
This calculator computes the distance an object travels as a function of time traveling at a constant initial velocity with the addition of an initial displacement (distance).  This equation ignores external forces and so the object continues its motion at its initial constant velocity, v_0, as an expression of Newton's First Law.

where:

• v_0 - Initial velocity at time t = 0
• x_0 - initial displacement at time t = 0
• t - time of travel in the x-direction
