Now you have the time. You can find total distance in two different ways. We are given an equation for its velocity so if we integrate that equation from t1 to t2 seconds well obtain the distance traveled by the object over that interval.
D x 2 - x 1 2 y 2 - y 1 2 The expression x 2 - x 1 is read as the change in x and y 2 - y 1 is the change in y.
Suppose a dog runs from one end of the street to another end of the street and the street is 800 meters across. The Distance Formula itself is actually derived from the Pythagorean Theorem which is a2 b2 c2 where c is the longest side of a right triangle also known as the hypotenuse and a and b are the other shorter sides known as the legs of a right triangle. We are given an equation for its velocity so if we integrate that equation from t1 to t2 seconds well obtain the distance traveled by the object over that interval. An easy way to remember the formulae is to put distance speed and time or the letters D S and T into a triangle.
