If a body's velocity and acceleration are constant, you can determine the distance it travels using the equations of motion. In this case, there are two relevant equations that can be used:
- The equation for calculating distance traveled (displacement) when initial velocity, final velocity, and time are known:
s = (u + v) * t / 2
Where:
- s is the distance traveled (displacement)
- u is the initial velocity
- v is the final velocity
- t is the time taken
- The equation for calculating distance traveled when initial velocity, acceleration, and time are known:
s = u * t + (1/2) * a * t^2
Where:
- s is the distance traveled (displacement)
- u is the initial velocity
- a is the constant acceleration
- t is the time taken
Both equations can be used when the velocity and acceleration are constant. If you know the initial velocity, final velocity, and time, you can use the first equation. If you know the initial velocity, acceleration, and time, you can use the second equation.
Note that in both equations, the distances are calculated as displacements (total distance traveled from the initial position). If you want to find the actual path or trajectory of the body, additional information about the specific motion or equations relating to the motion pattern would be needed.
