Formula
The Distance Traveled Calculator uses the formula:
Distance traveled = Initial velocity × Time + 0.5 × Acceleration × Time ^ 2
Worked example
For example, with initial velocity of 10 m/s, acceleration of 2 m/s² and time of 5 s, the distance traveled is 75.0000.
| Initial velocity | 10 m/s |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | 2 m/s² |
| Time | 5 s |
| Distance traveled | 75.0000 |

Frequently asked questions
Use s = ut + ½at². Starting at 10 m/s with 2 m/s² for 5 s covers 75 m.
ut is the distance at the starting speed, and ½at² is the extra distance from accelerating.
Set initial velocity to zero, and distance is just ½at².
Yes. The equation holds when acceleration is uniform over the time period.
