Distance Calculator

Calculate distance using speed and time, or using initial velocity, acceleration, and time. Supports multiple kinematic equations.

d = v × t (uniform speed) or d = v₀t + ½at² (accelerating)

Enter speed and time to calculate distance.

Distance Formulas

d = v × t (constant speed)
d = v₀t + ½at² (with acceleration)
Example: v₀ = 10 m/s, a = 2 m/s², t = 5 s
d = 10×5 + ½×2×25 = 50 + 25 = 75 m

FAQ

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Distance is the total path traveled (scalar). Displacement is the straight-line change in position (vector). For one-dimensional motion without reversals, they are equal.
