Distance from a Constant Velocity

Understanding the concept of distance from a constant velocity is fundamental in physics and everyday life. When an object moves with a constant velocity, its position changes at a consistent rate over time, resulting in a linear relationship between distance traveled and time elapsed. This relationship is encapsulated by the equation \( d = vt \), where \( d \) represents the distance traveled, \( v \) denotes the velocity, and \( t \) signifies the time elapsed. By examining this relationship, we can gain insights into the motion of objects and phenomena ranging from vehicles on highways to celestial bodies in space.
