Basic Equations:
From: | To: |
The fundamental relationship between speed, distance, and time is one of the most important in physics and everyday life. These three variables are interconnected through simple mathematical relationships.
The calculator uses these basic equations:
Where:
Explanation: These equations show that if you know any two of the variables, you can calculate the third.
Details: These calculations are used in transportation planning, sports training, physics problems, navigation, and many everyday situations like estimating travel time.
Tips:
Q1: What units does this calculator use?
A: The calculator uses meters for distance, seconds for time, and meters per second (m/s) for speed.
Q2: How do I convert to other units?
A: For km/h, multiply m/s by 3.6. For miles, multiply meters by 0.000621371. For hours, divide seconds by 3600.
Q3: Can I calculate average speed?
A: Yes, if you enter total distance and total time, the calculator gives average speed.
Q4: What if I get division by zero errors?
A: Time and speed cannot be zero when calculating speed or time respectively. The calculator handles this automatically.
Q5: Is this calculator accurate for non-constant speeds?
A: This calculates average values. For variable speeds, more complex calculations are needed.
