    Speed, Distance & Time Calculation

In order to use the above speed, distance & time calculator, or do such math on your own, you will need to know two out of three metrics: speed, distance, time. You will need to convert the metrics to the same time and distance units, e.g. miles, kilometers, meters, yards, feet, and hours, minutes or seconds. For example, if you have speed in mph (miles per hour), time should also be in hours. If you have distance in kilometers, then speed should also be in km/h (kilometers per hour).

The unit of the result will depend on the units you input, but our speed calculator will conveniently display additional units where appropriate.

    Average Speed formula

The formula for average speed, also called average velocity in physics and engineering, is:

where v is the velocity, d is the distance, and t is the time, so you can read it as Speed = Distance / Time . As noted above, make sure you convert the units appropriately first, or use our speed calculator which does that automatically. The resulting unit will depend on the units for both time and distance, so if your input was in miles and hours, the speed will be in mph. If it was in meters and seconds, it will be in m/s (meters per second).

Example: If you took a plane from New York to Los Angeles and the flight was 5 hours of air time, what was the speed of the plane, given that the flight path was 2450 miles? The answer is 2450 / 5 = 490 mph (miles per hour) average speed. If you want the result in km/h, you can convert from miles to km to get 788.58 km/h.

    Distance formula

The formula for distance, if you know time (duration) and the average speed, is:

Example: If a truck travelled at an average speed of 80 km per hour for 4 hours, how many miles did it cover in that time? To find the miles covered, first, calculate 80 * 4 = 320 km, then convert km to miles by dividing by 1.6093 or by using our km to miles converter to get the answer: 198.84 miles.

    Duration (Time) formula

The time, or more precisely, the duration of the trip, can be calculated knowing the distance and the average speed using the formula:

where d is the distance travelled, v is the speed (velocity) and t is the time, so you can read it as Time = Distance / Speed . Make sure you convert the units so both their distance and time components match, or use our trip duration calculator above which will handle conversions automatically. For example, if you have distance in miles and speed in km/h, you will need to convert speed to mph or distance to kilometers. The time unit of the result will match the time unit of the speed measure, so if it is measured in something per hour, the result will be in hours. If it is measured in some unit per second, the result will be in seconds.

Example: If a train can travel 500 miles with an average speed of 50 miles per hour, how long it would take it to complete a 500-mile route? To find the answer, use the formula and substitute the values, resulting in 500 / 50 = 10 hours.

    How to calculate the average speed of a car?

Say you travelled a certain distance with a car or another vehicle and you want to calculate what its average speed was. The easiest way to do that would be by using the calculator above, but if you prefer, you can also do the math yourself. Either way, you need to know the distance to a satisfactory approximation, for which you can use a map (e.g. Google Maps) to measure the distance from point to point. Make sure you measure closely to the path you took, and not via a straight line, unless you travelled by air in which case that would be a good approximation. Of course, having a GPS reading of the distance would be more precise. Then you need to know the travel time. Make sure you subtract any rests or stops you made from the total trip duration.

If the total distance travelled was 500 miles and the time it took you was 5 hours, then your average speed was 500 / 5 = 100 miles per hour (mph). If the distance was 300 kilometers and it took you 5 hours to cover it, your speed was 300 / 5 = 60 km/h (kilometers per hour).

A car can go from rest to 45 km/hr in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?

Guys how much time will a cyclist take to cover 132 METRES With a speed of 8 km/ph

@Mike Depends on how fast that actually is. For every 10 mph above 60, but below 120, you save 5 seconds a mile. But between the 30-60 area, every ten saves 10 seconds a mile (if I am remembering correctly), and every 10 between 15-30 is 20 seconds. Realistically, it isn't likely isn't worth it, unless it is a relatively straight drive with no stops, in which case you will likely go up a gear for the drive and thus improve gas efficiency for the trip. Only really saves time if it is over long trips 300+ miles (in which case, assuming you were on the interstate) that 5 seconds a mile would save you 25 minutes from the drive, making it go from 4h35m to 4h10m. For me, I have family across the U.S., so family visits are usually 900-1400 miles. Even only driving 5 above usually saves me 90-150 minutes or so (since I often have stretches where I drive on US highways which have 55 mph speed limits)

I would like to know if driving fast is worth it for short trips. If I drive 10 MPH over the speed limit for 10 miles, how much time do i save ? Is there an equation for that ?

it helps me in lot of stuff

awesome, helped me notice how long my taiga (electric seedoo) is going to last.

Very good! This helped me a lot.

Are you tired of the tedious task of manual calculations regarding speed, distance, and time? Pay attention to the Speed Distance Time Calculator. This powerful tool utilizes the fundamental formula d = st, making it easier to figure out these numbers precisely and accurately.

With the ability to determine distance, speed, and time through formulas such as d = st to calculate distance, s = d/t to calculate speed, and t = d/s to calculate time, this versatile time distance calculator can deduce an unknown value if two other values are known.

Furthermore, this distance speed calculator accepts time in various units, including seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years, and can handle a plethora of separators.

Speed distance and time calculator also allows calculating speed in multiple units, including miles per hour, kilometers per hour, meters per second, and many other speed measurement units, and distance in inches, feet, yards, miles, centimeters, meters, and kilometers.

Say goodbye to tedious calculations and hello to efficiency with the Speed Distance Time Calculator.

Sometimes a so-called dst-triangle is used to represent the formula d = st more clearly. This representation helps you more easily remember what the formula for calculating distance, speed, and time looks like. And it also makes it easier to transform that formula to calculate one of these parameters. In the basic version, this triangle looks like this:

If we don't know the distance, we can put the triangle like this and get a formula to calculate the distance based on speed and time:

So the formula in this case would look like d = st .

If we don't know the speed, but need to calculate it based on distance and time data, we can represent the triangle in the following form and quickly recall the formula:

So in this situation, we'll use the formula s = d/t .

And in the end, if we need to find the time, but have distance and speed information, we can use this version of the speed distance and time triangle:

In a situation like this, we would apply the formula t = d/s to our calculations.

Practical application

Calculating speed, distance, and time may seem like a dry and boring topic, but they are actually incredibly fascinating and useful concepts to understand. Whether you're trying to get somewhere on time or just trying to figure out how long it will take to get from point A to point B, understanding the relationship between speed, distance, and time is crucial.

The speed, distance, and time calculator is a helpful tool for physics students, engineers, and anyone who needs to make calculations related to speed, distance, and time. Even if you are not related to science, you can use time distance calculator in your everyday life. What simple daily calculations can it be useful for?

The formula used to calculate time is:

where t is time, d is distance, and s is speed.

In this equation, time equals distance divided by speed.

Let's look at an example of calculating time. We have quite an experienced runner who estimates their chances of running a marathon with good results. Our athlete wants to know how long it will take them to run a marathon (26.2 miles) at 9 miles per hour.

By the way, leading amateur marathon runners who can finish the marathon in less than three hours run 26.2 miles (42 kilometers) at an average speed of 8.8 miles per hour (or around 14.1 kilometers per hour). That's already a decent speed, considering that riding a bicycle may occur at about the same speed.

The runner can substitute the known values of distance (26.2 miles) and speed (9 miles per hour) using the formula t = d/s .

t = d/s = 26.2 / 9 = 2.91 hours

It will take 2.91 hours to run a marathon.

And the speed, distance, and time calculator will give us the result of the computation with staggering accuracy:

Time = 2.91111 hours = 2.91111 h = 02:54:40 = 2 hours, 54 minutes, and 40 seconds.

We use the distance traveled formula

to determine the distance, where d stands for distance, s is speed, and t is time.

This formula is based on the principle that distance equals speed times time.

The following example will show us how to calculate distance. A driver plans a trip across the U.S. and wants to know how the distance he can cover in a certain time while moving at a certain speed. In this case, we can use our tool as a distance traveled calculator.

To begin, the driver tries to estimate how many miles they could cover if they drove at an average speed of 55 miles per hour for four hours without stopping.

Using the formula d = st , the driver can substitute the known values of speed (55 mph), and time (4 hours) to calculate the distance they will travel:

d = st = 55 × 4 = 220 miles

So, the distance of the trip will be 220 miles. This is a good distance to travel across the country. For example, the distance between New York City and Washington, D.C., is about 226 miles.

To calculate speed, we use the speed formula

where s denotes speed, d is distance, and t is time. Here, the speed equals the distance divided by the time traveled. Applying this formula, you can use this calculator as an average speed calculator.

The following example will demonstrate the speed calculation. A plane leaves New York and is directed to London. These two cities are separated by a distance of 3,461 miles. The flight we are considering in this example takes 7 hours. How to calculate speed of the plane in miles per hour?

Using the formula s = d/t , we can substitute the known values of distance (3461 miles) and time (7 hours) to calculate the speed:

s = d/t = 3461 / 7 = 494.43 mph

So, the plane's average speed will be 494.43 mph, or around 494 mph.

If we are curious enough and decide to use a Speed Distance Time calculator to give us the results of these calculations in other units, it will provide us with even more comprehensive information. The aircraft's speed in this example is 0.137341 miles per second, 795.706 kilometers per hour, 221.029 meters per second.

The above equations seem simple enough to us. But scientists have spent a long time creating them and proving that they work. Ancient thinkers made serious contributions to the study of speed and distance. The Greek philosopher Aristotle was one of the first to systematically explore these topics.

Aristotle viewed time as a quantitative characteristic of motion and compared it to a number or measure of motion. Aristotle emphasized that time is not identical with motion, but is constantly connected with it. He viewed time as a flow, and each "now" as the end of the past and the beginning of the future. He viewed time as a thing and emphasized its measurement by means of numbers.

Aristotle's studies of the relationship of time, motion, and distance laid the foundation for future scientists and mathematicians. Greek astronomers such as Hipparchus and Ptolemy developed the field of astronomy, using mathematics to predict the motion of celestial bodies.

In the 17th century, the Italian scientist and mathematician Galileo Galilei made significant contributions to the study of motion and speed. He conducted observations and experiments with falling objects. This led him to suggest that the distance an object travels is directly proportional to the time it takes to travel that distance. He also suggested that the speed of an object is constant as long as the force acting on it is constant.

Galileo Galilei first proposed the concept of uniformly accelerated motion. He also studied the motion of pendulums and suggested that the length of a pendulum had nothing to do with how far it swung. Galileo Galilei's idea that distance and time are inversely related led to the equation d = st (distance = speed × time). It was Galileo Galilei who quantified speed in terms of distance and time.

The formula d = st (distance = speed × time) itself goes back to the work of French mathematician and physicist Pierre-Simon Laplace. He introduced the formula in 1799 in his book Celestial Mechanics. Laplace used it to calculate the distances of celestial bodies from Earth and to predict their future positions. This significant achievement in astronomy laid the foundation for celestial mechanics and the modern development of astrometry.

Incidentally, the formula d = st is a special case of the more general formula d = vt + 1/2at² , where a stands for acceleration. This formula is an equation of motion of an object with constant acceleration, also known as the second equation of motion or kinematic equation of motion.

Its first part (vt) represents the distance traveled due to initial velocity, and its second part (1/2at²) represents the distance traveled due to acceleration.

The Speed, Distance and Time calculator is a valuable aid for those who need accurate and reliable calculations related to speed, distance and time. Whether you are a physics student, an engineer, or just someone who needs a quick calculation, this tool will make your calculations easy and accurate.

With its versatile handling of different units, use of different delimiters and the ability to get results in different units, the speed calculator comes in handy for a wide variety of tasks.

Say goodbye to tedious manual recalculations and arm yourself with accuracy and precision with the speed time and distance calculator!

How to calculate speed - average speed formula, solving the speed equation to calculate distance and time, speed vs. velocity.

If you're searching for how to calculate the speed-time-distance relationship, this speed calculator is for you! With this calculator, you can:

• Calculate speed , given distance and time;
• By inputting speed and distance, calculate time ;
• Calculate distance ;
• Compare the time with a different speed, using the advanced mode in the calculator.

Consider that when we use total distance covered and time traveled (as in this calculator), we calculate an average speed . The final section discusses this and the difference between speed and velocity .

CalcTool's internal unit conversion allows you to conveniently have the inputs and outputs in different units. If you have doubts about calculating miles per hour and other velocity units, you can look at our speed converter .

Once you've mastered speed and velocity, you'll be ready to study acceleration with our acceleration calculator .

Speed is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time taken:

speed = distance/time

It's important to know that this is an average speed formula , as going over some distance in a specific amount of time could be done at different speeds during that travel.

Now that you know how to find the speed let's see how to calculate distance and time.

If we know the average speed and time, we can solve the previous speed equation for distance :

distance = speed × time

And do the same for time :

time = distance/speed

Speed and velocity might seem the same, but they're not.

• Speed is a scalar quantity - it has magnitude only but not direction. In simple terms, it tells how fast an object moves.
• Velocity is a vector quantity - it is defined not only by magnitude but also by direction . It tells the rate at which an object changes its position.

While speed depends on distance traveled, velocity depends on initial and final positions . If the initial and final positions are the same, the position doesn't change, and the average velocity equals zero.

Suppose a car travels from point A to point B and returns to point A, all that in 30 seconds. If there's a distance of 50 m between both points, the car had an average speed of:

speed = distance/time = (2 × 50 m)/30 s = 3.33 m/s

On the other hand, the velocity is zero, as the initial and final positions are the same.

Speed, distance, time, how fast am i going — types of speed, average speed formula, speed calculator — how to find your average speed, average speed vs average velocity, speed of sound — curious speed related facts.

This speed calculator is a tool that helps you determine the average speed of a moving object based on the distance traveled over a certain time traveled. Whether you are test-driving your brand-new car or just going for a quick jog or cycle, if you want to know how to find average speed, this calculator will come in handy.

In the article below, you can find a lot of valuable information, like what the average speed formula is. We will also give you a few curious speed facts (e.g., the speed of sound formula ). Check this speed distance calculator and finally find an answer to the question how fast am I going?

We have all heard of speed , but how confident are you in your understanding of this concept? Speed is, by definition, purely related and connected to physics. However, when you take the time to think about it, you don't see the vectors and formulas from your textbook, but instead, a cyclist, flying jet, or speedometer needle. We mostly associate speed with moving objects than with scientific equations. What is more, we have a sense that tells us how quickly we are traveling; that is, we can sense whether we are moving fast or not. For example, when you drive a car at a speed of 50 km/h, this is not too fast relative to the max speed of the car, but when you ride a bike with the same speed, it feels like a lot. So, we can say that the human perception of speed is relative.

Automobiles and trains measure speed in kilometers per hour (kph) or in miles per hour (mph), and on airplanes and ships, we usually use knots (kn). On the other hand, physicists most often use the SI base units which are meters per second (m/s). The speed definition hides behind these units, and we can get familiar with it by examining them. Everything about speed is related to distance and time. The units of speed are specified by traveled distance units divided by units of time, and that is the general idea of speed. In a more simple way - speed is the distance traveled per unit of time .

Speed is not a precise term — there are a few more accurate meanings, and they should not be confused with each other. Let's consider the differences between instantaneous speed , average speed and rotational speed . For the purpose of two first, we will try to visualize it with an example of driving a car.

You are driving along the long, open highway. You glance down at the speedometer of your car; it reads 100 kilometers per hour. From this, you know how far you will drive if you keep the speed constant. We know that, in practice, keeping the speed exactly constant is almost impossible (although, on a highway with cruise control, it is nearly possible), and our speed fluctuates all the time, more or less. The actual distance you travel in an hour is the average of all these speeds. Conclusion - the average speed is the total distance traveled in a unit of time (e.g., in an hour).

So, what does the number your speedometer indicates really mean? That is your instantaneous speed; your speed at this exact moment. According to the textbook definition, the instantaneous speed is the change in object position, x, between two times, t 1 and t 2 (where this time interval approaches zero, i.e., t 2 - t 1 → 0).

The rotational speed is a slightly different term, related rather to rotating objects than to objects that change their position in space. Accordingly, the rotational speed is the number of complete revolutions that an object makes in a unit of time . It is expressed in radians per second (rad/s) or in revolutions per minute (rpm) units. We will not focus more on this topic because it is not the aim of this speed distance calculator. If you would like to find out more about the topic of angular speed, go to our angular acceleration calculator or the rotational kinetic energy calculator .

Since the main purpose of this calculator is to calculate average speed, let's take a more in-depth look at this topic. Average speed is measured in units of distance per time, and the average speed formula looks like this:

average speed = total distance / total time

Typical units are kilometers per hour (kph), miles per hour (mph), meters per second (m/s), and feet per second (ft/s). In our mph calculator, the default unit is mph (kph for metric-units countries), but you can change between any of the common units.

🙋 To know more about determining the average speed, check out our average rate of change calculator .

Using this speed distance calculator is really easy, and you will get your result immediately. Check the points below to learn how to use this calculator properly:

• First, you need to determine the distance . This might be, for example, the distance you have driven from home to another city. Input this into the appropriate field.
• Now, there is a need to determine the time it took to cover a certain distance. Input this into the calculator.
• And here it is, you'll get the average speed .

You can also click the advanced mode button to access the extra functionality of this average speed calculator. Here, you can compare what the difference in time would be if the object was traveling at another average speed (a positive value if the object is traveling for a longer time and a negative value if the object is traveling for a shorter time).

Speed and velocity might seem to be the same thing, but they're not. Speed is a scalar quantity - it is defined by magnitude only. In simple terms, it tells you how fast an object is moving. On the other hand, velocity is a vector - it is defined not only by magnitude but also by direction. It tells you the rate at which an object changes its position.

Imagine you drove a car 100 meters forward and then 100 meters back. You would drive at a certain average speed in each direction, but you would have zero average velocity, as velocity is measured as the rate at which the position of the car changes, and, overall, the car didn't change its position. Therefore, it is enough to say that the average speed of a car was 50 mph, but when calculating velocity, we would have to add direction, let's say 50 mph east.

🙋 Take a look at the velocity calculator for a full discussion on the difference between velocity and speed!

Do you have a need... a need for speed? Take a look at some interesting facts and striking numbers of the speed of different objects and animals!

Nothing can go faster than the speed of light, even if we take into account that speed is a relative measurement. Light moves at the speed of 299 792 458 meters per second, which approximately gives 300 000 kilometers per second or 186 000 miles per second. The time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach the Earth is around 8 minutes.

Sound moves through the air at a speed of around 343 meters per second, which is 1234.8 km/h or 767 mph (at 20 °C / 68 °F). It means that a sound wave in air needs about 2.9 seconds to travel one kilometer, or 4.7 seconds to travel a mile - this data might be useful for storm-hunters to determine the lighting distance . In 2012, Austrian Felix Baumgartner broke the sound barrier (with his body!) during a free-fall from 128 000 feet. He reached a speed of 843.6 mph. To put it into context, the typical passenger of jet aircraft cruises at an altitude of 33 000 - 35 000 feet, at a speed of around 500 mph (depending on the aircraft type as well as on the wind speed).

You've probably heard that the fastest animal on the land is the cheetah, and it is true. Its maximum speed is really incredible, and, according to the latest research, it can reach speeds of up to 58 mph! Another amazing example is the peregrine falcons. They can reach speeds exceeding... 200 mph in air! In water, the fastest animal is the Atlantic sailfish - 68 mph in water.

What about people? Sprinter Usain Bolt is the fastest man ever in recorded history, with a recorded speed of 27.44 mph. What is interesting, scientists found that a man who lived 20 000 years ago in Australia (called T8) ran with the speed of 23 mph. Note he did it barefoot in the mud, while Bolt uses state-of-the-art running shoes and a dedicated track.

Is velocity the same as speed?

Velocity and speed are very nearly the same — in fact, the only difference between the two is that velocity is speed with direction . Speed is what is known as a scalar quantity, meaning that it can be described by a single number (how fast you’re going). It is also the magnitude of velocity. Velocity, a vector quantity, must have both the magnitude and direction specified, e.g., traveling 90 mph southeast.

What is the most economical driving speed?

While the most economical driving speed changes with every vehicle , the general consensus is that it is around 50 mph (80 km/h) . There are a few other things you can do to maximize efficiency, however. First, try to maintain a constant speed ; this will make your engine run as efficiently as possible — use cruise control on flats if you have it. Second, drive at the highest possible gear within the speed limit ; this again helps your engine run as economically as possible. Other tips include turning off AC and having as little weight in your car as you can .

Can Google Maps tell me my speed?

Google Maps can tell you your speed; it has an inbuild speedometer , which is only currently available for Android users. It is on by default, but to make sure it is on, go to settings → navigation settings , and under the driving options menu, there will be a slider for it. It is useful as it will change color if you are exceeding the limit — so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road. You can also report speed cameras and traps — but only if you’re in navigation mode.

How do you calculate mph to seconds?

• Take your current speed in either kph or mph.
• Divide it by 60 to get kilometers per minute or miles per minute.
• Divide by 60 again, getting kilometers per second or miles per second.
• Alternatively, divide it by 3600 for the straight conversion.

What are the types of speed?

Speed has many different types and terms to describe it:

• Speed — how fast an object is traveling.
• Velocity — how fast an object is traveling in a certain direction.
• Acceleration — how quickly it takes an object to reach a certain speed.
• Constant speed — an object moving at the same rate.
• Variable speed — an object moving at a changing rate.
• Average speed — distance covered divided by time taken to traverse.
• Instantaneous speed — the speed at a particular instance.

What is the unit for speed?

The unit for speed is distance over time , as it is defined as the amount of time it takes an object to cover a particular distance. The base, or SI, unit is meters per second , but this is not very practical in everyday life. You are likely more familiar with units such as kilometers per hour, miles per hour, and knots . Any distance over time is a speed unit, so other units of speed include nanometres per fortnight, Boeing 787s per solar year, or bananas per Friedman.

How do you convert between mph and kph?

To convert from miles per hour to kilometers per hour :

• Take your speed.
• Multiply the value by 1.6.

To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour :

• Multiply the value by 0.62.

A handy trick if you don’t have a calculator to hand (e.g., you're driving) is to use the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8…). Take a number; the next one in the sequence is the kilometers if the previous one was miles (e.g., 50 mph is roughly 80 kph).

How do you find the final speed?

If you have the average and initial speed :

• Multiply the average speed by 2.
• Subtract the initial speed.
• You’re left with the final speed .

If you have initial speed, acceleration, and time :

• Multiply the time and acceleration.
• Add the initial speed to this number.
• Revel in your calculation .

What is the formula to calculate average speed?

The most common formula for average speed is distance traveled divided by time taken . The other formula, if you have the initial and final speed , add the two together and divide by 2.

What are the types of acceleration?

There are two types of acceleration, average and instantaneous . Average acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the change of time and is how an object's movement changes with time, on average. Instantaneous acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time , or the limit of the average acceleration over an infinitesimal period of time. It is used to find the exact acceleration of an object at a particular time.

The following converter converts between common speed units.

Speed, distance, and time

What is speed.

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers distance. It describes how quickly or slowly an object moves from one place to another. The standard (SI) unit of speed is meters per second (m/s), but it can also be expressed in other units, such as kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), or feet per second (ft/s), depending on the context or the country's measurement system.

The relationship between speed, distance, and time

Speed, distance, and time are closely interconnected and can be thought of as three pieces of a puzzle that fit together perfectly. The relationship can be summarized by the formula:

This formula shows that:

• Speed increases if you cover more distance in the same amount of time, or if you cover a distance in less time.
• Distance can be calculated if you know the speed and time, with the formula: distance = speed × time

Imagine you are riding a bicycle at a constant speed of 10 meters per second (m/s) for 1 minute. How far will you have traveled by the end of that minute?

First, convert the time into seconds because our speed is in meters per second. One minute equals 60 seconds. Now, using the distance formula:

This means you will have traveled 600 meters in one minute.

Understanding the relationship between speed, distance, and time is not just about solving physics problems; it helps us in everyday situations. Whether you are trying to calculate how long it will take to get to school at a certain speed, how fast you need to run to win a race, or even how speed limits on roads are determined to ensure safety, these concepts are incredibly useful.

A Velocity Calculator is a tool that helps find how fast something moves. It’s like a digital ruler for speed. You put in numbers, and it tells you how fast something is going. It’s handy for things like cars, bikes, or even runners.

Velocity Calculator Formula

To calculate velocity, you can use the following simple formula:

Velocity = Distance ÷ Time

• Velocity is the speed of an object in a particular direction.
• Distance is the length travelled by the object.
• Time is the duration it takes for the object to travel that distance.

You can plug in the values of distance and time into this formula to find the velocity of an object.

Velocity Calculator Table

Here’s a simple table that shows how to calculate velocity:

In the table:

• ‘v’ represents the velocity.
• Δd stands for change in distance, calculated by subtracting the initial distance (d1) from the final distance (d2).
• Δt stands for change in time, calculated by subtracting the initial time (t1) from the final time (t2).

Using these formulas, you can easily calculate velocity when you know the initial and final distances, as well as the initial and final times.

Velocity Calculator Example

Let’s say you’re riding your bike to school. You start at your house, and it takes you 15 minutes to ride 3 kilometres to get to school. To find out how fast you’re going, we can use the velocity calculator.

First, we need to know two things: the distance you travelled and the time it took. In this example, the distance is 3 kilometres, and the time is 15 minutes.

Now, we put these numbers into the velocity formula:

Velocity = Distance / Time. Velocity = 3 kilometres / 15 minutes.

When we do the math, we find out that your velocity is

0.2 kilometres per minute

This means you’re going at a speed of 0.2 kilometres for every minute you ride your bike.

Velocity is a way to measure how fast something is moving, and this velocity calculator helps us figure it out easily.

When will solar eclipse reach your town? These maps show path's timing, how long it lasts.

Hundreds of cities in 13 u.s. states fall directly on the april 8 eclipse's path of totality as the moon blocks the sun's disc and ushers in darkness. these interactive maps offer a closer look..

Come Monday, millions of Americans from Texas to Maine will stop what they're doing to step outside and spend a few minutes gazing skyward .

Few celestial events have the power to capture our collective attention the way this upcoming total solar eclipse has managed to do. And for those making time to witness it, two questions are bound to be on their mind : Will totality reach my area and if so, how long will the resulting darkness last?

Most people across the country are bound to experience the eclipse in some form, but only 13 states fall directly on the path of totality, where the moon will appear large enough to shield all but the sun's outermost layer, the corona.

As you make your eclipse-viewing plans, these interactive maps should help you chart the time and duration for when totality will occur in cities along the path.

Solar eclipse experiment: Here's why NASA is launching 3 sounding rockets into space during the total solar eclipse

Total solar eclipse path of totality map

The 115-mile-wide path of totality will pass from southwest to northeast over portions of Mexico the United States and Canada.

Mexico's Pacific coast will be the first location in continental North America to experience totality, which will occur at about 11:07 a.m. PDT,  according to NASA .

As the moon's shadow travels northeast, totality in the U.S. will begin at 1:27 p.m. CDT in Eagle Pass, Texas. From there, the path will cut diagonally across the country before ending around 3:35 p.m. EDT in Lee, Maine.

Remember: If you plan to witness the eclipse, proper eyewear is a must until the eclipse reaches totality, then it can be viewed with the naked eye.

‘A Lot of Chaos’: Bridge Collapse Creates Upheaval at Largest U.S. Port for Car Trade

A bridge collapse closed Baltimore’s port, an important trade hub that ranks first in the nation by the volume of automobiles and light trucks it handles.

Shipping in the Port of Baltimore

Monthly cargo handled by the Port of Baltimore

The Baltimore bridge disaster on Tuesday upended operations at one of the nation’s busiest ports, with disruptions likely to be felt for weeks by companies shipping goods in and out of the country — and possibly by consumers as well.

The upheaval will be especially notable for auto makers and coal producers for whom Baltimore has become one of the most vital shipping destinations in the United States.

As officials began to investigate why a nearly 1,000-foot cargo ship ran into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the middle of the night, companies that transport goods to suppliers and stores scrambled to get trucks to the other East Coast ports receiving goods diverted from Baltimore. Ships sat idle elsewhere, unsure where and when to dock.

“It’s going to cause a lot of chaos,” said Paul Brashier, vice president for drayage and intermodal at ITS Logistics.

The closure of the Port of Baltimore is the latest hit to global supply chains, which have been strained by monthslong crises at the Panama Canal, which has had to slash traffic because of low water levels; and the Suez Canal, which shipping companies are avoiding because of attacks by the Houthis on vessels in the Red Sea.

The auto industry now faces new supply headaches.

Last year, 570,000 vehicles were imported through Baltimore, according to Sina Golara, an assistant professor of supply chain management at Georgia State University. “That’s a huge amount,” he said, equivalent to nearly a quarter of the current inventory of new cars in the United States.

The Baltimore port handled a record amount of foreign cargo last year, and it was the 17th biggest port in the nation overall in 2021, ranked by total tons, according to Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Baltimore ranks first in the United States for the volume of automobiles and light trucks it handles, and for vessels that carry wheeled cargo, including farm and construction machinery, according to a statement by Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland last month.

The incident is another stark reminder of the vulnerability of the supply chains that transport consumer products and commodities around the world.

The extent of the disruption depends on how long it takes to reopen shipping channels into the port of Baltimore. Experts estimate it could take several weeks.

Baltimore is not a leading port for container ships, and other ports can likely absorb traffic that was headed to Baltimore, industry officials said.

Stephen Edwards, the chief executive of the Port of Virginia, said it was expecting a vessel on Tuesday that was previously bound for Baltimore, and that others would soon follow. “Between New York and Virginia, we have sufficient capacity to handle all this cargo,” Mr. Edwards said, referring to container ships.

“Shipping companies are very agile,” said Jean-Paul Rodrigue, a professor in the department of maritime business administration at Texas A&M University-Galveston. “In two to three days, it will be rerouted.”

But other types of cargo could remain snarled.

Alexis Ellender, a global analyst at Kpler, a commodities analytics firm, said he expected the port closure to cause significant disruption of U.S. exports of coal. Last year, about 23 million metric tons of coal exports were shipped from the port of Baltimore, about a quarter of all seaborne U.S. coal shipments. About 12 vessel had been expected to leave the port of Baltimore in the next week or so carrying coal, according to Kpler.

He noted that it would not make a huge dent on the global market, but he added that “the impact is significant for the U.S. in terms of loss of export capacity.”

“You may see coal cargoes coming from the mines being rerouted to other ports instead,” he said, with a port in Norfolk, Va., the most likely.

If auto imports are reduced by Baltimore’s closure, inventories could run low, particularly for models that are in high demand.

“We are initiating discussions with our various transportation providers on contingency plans to ensure an uninterrupted flow of vehicles to our customers and will continue to carefully monitor this situation,” Stellantis, which owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram, said in a statement.

Other ports have the capacity to import cars, but there may not be enough car transporters at those ports to handle the new traffic.

“You have to make sure the capacity exists all the way in the supply chain — all the way to the dealership,” said Mr. Golara, the Georgia State professor.

A looming battle is insurance payouts, once legal liability is determined. The size of the payout from the insurer is likely to be significant and will depend on factors including the value of the bridge, the scale of loss of life compensation owed to families of people who died, the damage to the vessel and disruption to the port.

The ship’s insurer, Britannia P&I Club, part of a global group of insurers, said in a statement that it was “working closely with the ship manager and relevant authorities to establish the facts and to help ensure that this situation is dealt with quickly and professionally.”

The port has also increasingly catered to large container ships like the Dali, the 948-foot-long cargo vessel carrying goods for the shipping giant Maersk that hit a pillar of the bridge around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday. The Dali had spent two days in Baltimore’s port before setting off toward the 1.6-mile Francis Scott Key Bridge.

State-owned terminals, managed by the Maryland Port Administration, and privately owned terminals in Baltimore transported a record 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo in 2023, worth $80 billion.

Materials transported in large volumes through the city’s port include coal, coffee and sugar. It was the ninth-busiest port in the nation last year for receiving foreign cargo, in terms of volume and value.

The bridge’s collapse will also disrupt cruises traveling in and out of Baltimore. Norwegian Cruise Line last year began a new fall and winter schedule calling at the Port of Baltimore.

An earlier version of this article misstated the Port of Baltimore’s rank among U.S. ports. It was the nation’s 17th biggest port by total tons in 2021, not the 20th largest.
