If you assume a constant speed, you need to multiply the speed by the time, to get the distance. You would also need to convert all the units to compatible units - for example, the time to minutes, and the speed to kilometers/minute; or the time to hours, and the speed to kilometers/hour.

How do you find a displacement?
you see to find displacement its the distance that it changed
How far something travels?
Displacement is the term for the change in position of an object. You find displacement by taking the final position of the object and subtract the initial position of the object.
What is displacement in bike?
formula for displacement: A=(pi)r^2 A is Area Pi is 3.14 and R is the radius of the cylinder, this is the piston in Square inches. then multiply that by the distance the piston travels, that is the displacement of one cylinder to find total engine displacement multiply that by how many pistons are in the engine to get total engine displacement
How do you find velocity given only the time?
You cannot. You must have distance (or displacement). If you know it is from a standing start then accelaration will do.
How do you find the average speed of an object with changing speed?
It's as simple as total displacement divided by total time. Be careful though. If this is a velocity problem, displacement does not always equal distance.
Why you write S symbol for distance?
Strictly speaking, it's not. The symbol 's' is so often used for displacement because the symbol 'd' is often chosen for distance.This is an important distinction in physics, where differences between scalar (distance) and vector (displacement) types are used to measure and describe different things.============I believe that the standard explanation for the use of the letter s for distance is that the Latin word for distance is "spatium". Whether s (or d) is used to indicate distance or displacement, the distinction is that a right-facing arrow is placed over the letter to indicate displacement since it is a vector quantity.That said, it is probably not unheard of to find a textbook that uses d for distance and s for displacement, so long as their use is defined that way.
An object moves 15.0 m north and then 11.0 m south Find both the distance traveled and the magnitude of the displacement vector?
The total distance traveled (corresponding to the amount of gas the car would burn on such a trip) is 26 meters.The magnitude of the displacement vector = (Dfinal - Dinitial) = 4 meters north.
How do you find distance with final velocity and minimum acceleration?
vf2 = vi2 +ad, where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, a is acceleration, and d is displacement. In physics, velocity is the change in position of an object over a given time interval, and change in position is displacement, rather than distance. To find displacement, manipulate the equation in the following manner. Assume vi is zero. vf2 = 0 + 2ad vf2 = 2ad vf2/2a = 2ad/2a vf2/2a = d
Displacement in physics?
Displacement in physics can have multiple meanings dependent on the situation. If you are talking about the universal equations of motion or anything moving then displacement means how far something has 'literally' traveled. It differs from distance because if you where to start somewhere and then run around in a circle you would end in the same place and so your distance traveled would be 0. This would make it hard to find out how much energy you have expended because you technically haven't moved anywhere if you only look at distance. This is where displacement comes in, regardless of where you finish your displacement will be the same whether you run a mile in a Circle and finish in the same place or run a mile in a straight line. Now if you are talking about fluids then displacement will mean the amount of water displaced by an object in a fluid. This can be used to calculate the upward thrust of the fluid on the object. Alternatively, you could simply say that displacement is the distance moved in a particular direction and that it is a vector quantity (gives us both magnitude and direction).
How do you find volume of an apple?
Displacement
How the velocity - time graph can be used to find the distance traveled by the body in a given time?
Sure. By finding the area under the curve within the limits of time, we can find the distance covered in that time duration. Since v = ds / dt, ds = v dt. So for small time gap dt, vdt gives the displacement ds. So by integrating vdt for the limits, we can get the total displacement S
How do you find velocity of an object?
Before giving an answer to this question i will like to make note that velocity and speed are two different terms which become same only in case of straight line motion/ 1-D motion. Speed is the rate of change of DISTANCE with respect to time ,while Velocity is the rate of change of DISPLACEMENT with respect to time. Distance is the total path covered by a body between any two points while Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.... Distance b/w two different points can never be zero or negative will displacement can be zero or negative.
