To calculate the distance traveled using velocity and elapsed time, you can use the formula:
Distance = Velocity * Time
Where:
- Distance is the total distance traveled.
- Velocity is the constant speed at which the object is moving.
- Time is the elapsed time during which the object is moving at that velocity.
Simply multiply the velocity by the elapsed time to obtain the distance traveled. Make sure the units for velocity and time are consistent (e.g., meters per second and seconds) to get the distance in the corresponding unit (e.g., meters).
For example, if an object travels at a constant velocity of 20 meters per second for 5 seconds, the distance traveled would be:
Distance = 20 m/s * 5 s Distance = 100 meters
So, the object would have traveled a distance of 100 meters in 5 seconds.
