well i need couple equations described to me. first the distance formula, and velocity. can you guys show me the steps and describe it for me THANKS 
The equation for calculating distance in physics is distance = velocity x time. This equation is also known as the distance formula and is commonly used to determine how far an object has traveled over a certain period of time.
In physics, velocity is defined as the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. The standard unit for velocity is meters per second (m/s).
Average velocity is the total displacement of an object over a given time interval, while instantaneous velocity is the exact velocity of an object at a specific moment in time. Average velocity can be calculated using the distance formula, while instantaneous velocity can be found by taking the derivative of an object's position function.
To solve problems using distance and velocity equations, you must first identify the known values and the unknown value you are trying to find. Then, choose the appropriate equation based on the given information and plug in the known values. Finally, solve for the unknown value using basic algebraic principles.
Yes, the distance and velocity equations can be used for objects with changing velocity. However, in these cases, the average velocity equation will give an approximation rather than the exact value. To find the exact value, you would need to use calculus and the instantaneous velocity equation.
