How do you calculate the horizontal distance traveled by an object if you are given the horizontal velocity and time in the air?

You cannot because you do not know how long before the object falls to the ground and so stops moving.

How is the velocity-time graph related to the distance traveled?
The product of velocity and time yields distance travelled if the velocity is constant for the time in question. If velocity is not constant, one must first calculate the average velocity over a given time period before multiplying it by the time involved.
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?
Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)
What is average velocity?
Average velocity is def.ined as the ratio of total displacement to total time taken.
Calculate distance from a velocity time graph?
The area between the graph and the x-axis is the distance moved. If the velocity is constant the v vs t graph is a straight horizontal line. The shape of the area under the graph is a rectangle. For constant velocity, distance = V * time. Time is the x-axis and velocity is the y-axis. If the object is accelerating, the velocity is increasing at a constant rate. The graph is a line whose slope equals the acceleration. The shape of the graph is a triangle. The area under the graph is ½ * base * height. The base is time, and the height is the velocity. If the initial velocity is 0, the average velocity is final velocity ÷ 2. Distance = average velocity * time. Distance = (final velocity ÷ 2) * time, time is on the x-axis, and velocity is on the y-axis. (final velocity ÷ 2) * time = ½ time * final velocity ...½ base * height = ½ time * final velocity Area under graph = distance moved Most velocity graphs are horizontal lines or sloping lines.
How do you calculate horiontal velocity?
say shell velocity = 1000 m/s , launch angle = 45 deg from horizontal , then horizontal component = cos 45 * 1000 = 0.707 *1000 = 707 m/s
What do you need to know to be able to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?
The horizontal velocity of the projectile (and the air resistance if known) will determine the horizontal distance traveled and the time required.
Is distance directly proportional to velocity?
Distance Traveled is directly proportional to velocity. This is because velocity is the change in position over a period of time. The greater the velocity, the greater the distance traveled. For you calculus junkies, integrate velocity to get displacement.
The distance traveled by a car depends on the velocity of the car?
Distance(velocity), or D(v)
How do you calculate tota distance traveled when given velocity time and acceleration?
Assuming constant acceleration: distance = v(0) t + (1/2) a t squared Where v(0) is the initial velocity.
How is the velocity-time graph related to the distance traveled?
The product of velocity and time yields distance travelled if the velocity is constant for the time in question. If velocity is not constant, one must first calculate the average velocity over a given time period before multiplying it by the time involved.
I understand distance divided by time is the formula to calculate work How can I show an example to apply the formula?
Work is not defined as distance/time, but rather: work= force x distance Distance divided by time will give you velocity. Displacement (or distance traveled) = velocity x time
What is the distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance?
velocity
Why is velocity-displacement divided by time?
velocity means the distance traveled in certain time and in a certain direction. Therefore: velocity is the result of dividing the traveled distance by time taken, and adding a direction to it.
What is distance and direction traveled over time?
Velocity
Distance and direction traveled over time?
velocity
What is the velocity of a ship that traveled from London to New York in 6 days?
First you need to know the distance between London and New York, then divide the distance by the number of days (6) to calculate distance per day, then divide by 24 (hours per day) to calculate distance per hour (velocity per hour).
What kind of information is indicated by the graph of a landing site distance versus projectiles mass if the slope of the curve is zero?
Force = mass * acceleration Mass is only involved during the acceleration in the gun barrel , and is involved (with the explosive force) in translating to muzzle velocity. The horizontal distance travelled depends on the muzzle velocity and the incline of the barrel to horizontal. The curve will be parabolic even when the launch angle is 0 in which case the path will be negative (essentially going underground) 1. split launch velocity into horizontal and vertical vectors 2. using vertical velocity vector (initial velocity u), calculate (total) time to rise and fall back to ground using newtons equations. 3. multiply time by horizontal velocity vector to calculate horizontal distance travelled to landing site.
