Average Distance Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Average Distance (Dave) is:

$Dave = Vave \times T$

Where:

$Dave$ is the Average Distance (feet)
$Vave$ is the Average Velocity (ft/s)
$T$ is the Total Time (seconds)

What is Average Distance?

Average Distance refers to the total distance traveled by an object moving at a constant average velocity over a given period of time. This concept is commonly used in physics and engineering to calculate the distance covered when the speed and time are known. The calculation assumes a uniform motion without any acceleration or deceleration, making it a straightforward multiplication of average velocity and time.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Average Velocity (Vave): 10 ft/s
Total Time (T): 30 seconds

Using the formula to calculate Average Distance:

$Dave = 10 \times 30 = 300 \, \text{feet}$

This means that the average distance covered is 300 feet.
