Calculating Total Distance Traveled of an Object in Uniform & Constant Velocity

  • Thread starter SpeedeRi2
  • Start date
In summary, the total distance traveled can be calculated by multiplying the uniform velocity of 10 m/s by 3 seconds, then adding the distance traveled at a constant speed of 5 m/s for 2 seconds. This formula can also be applied to determine the distance to travel to grandma's house, which is approximately 60 miles if it takes 1 hour driving at 60 miles per hour.

An object travels in a straight line at a uniform velocity of 10 m/s for 3 seconds and then travels for 2 seconds at a constant speed of 5 meters per second in the same direction. Calculate the total distance traveled.

As I said in the other thread where you asked the same question, you only need one formula. If I tell you what it looks like I will have done too much already. We're supposed to offer hints here, not complete solutions.

If you are going to grandmas house for thanksgiving dinner and it takes you 1 hr to get there when you drive at 60 mi/hr, how far is it to grandmas house?

Uniform velocity then constant speed in the same direction.

Interesting choice of words.

:yuck:
