  • Uniform Motion Equations: Distance, Velocity & Time - Physics Formulas
    The equation for uniform motion depends on what information you have and what you want to find. Here are the most common equations:

    1. Distance (d) = Velocity (v) × Time (t)

    * This equation is used to calculate the distance traveled when an object moves at a constant velocity for a certain time.

    * Example: A car travels at 60 km/h for 2 hours. The distance traveled is d = 60 km/h × 2 h = 120 km.

    2. Velocity (v) = Distance (d) / Time (t)

    * This equation is used to calculate the velocity of an object when you know the distance traveled and the time taken.

    * Example: A runner covers 10 km in 1 hour. The runner's velocity is v = 10 km / 1 h = 10 km/h.

    3. Time (t) = Distance (d) / Velocity (v)

    * This equation is used to calculate the time taken for an object to travel a certain distance at a constant velocity.

    * Example: A plane flies 500 km at a speed of 250 km/h. The time taken is t = 500 km / 250 km/h = 2 hours.

    Important Note: These equations apply only to uniform motion, meaning the object moves at a constant velocity in a straight line. If the object changes its velocity or direction, these equations are no longer valid.
