How do i find the distance and time?

shades :) Asked by letsgowinthegame 9 months ago, 5 answers.

Ok, so I have some science homework and it is about velocity, time, and distance. It has already given me the average velocity, but I need to find the time and distance for each. (there are 10 questions, and 5 are missing the time and 5 are missing the...

difference).
Example:
Austin has an average velocity of 2.73 m/s
His time is 3.66 seconds.
But how do I find the difference?
It has something to do with cross multiplying. And it is really important I figure this out.
step by step works best, and thanks!

Do you know the triangle? (you multiply the ones at the bottom to get the top, and you divide the top from bottom to get the sides)
d
v t

v = d/t
d = vt
t = d/v

so you have v and t

so d = 2.73 x 3.66
d = 9.99m

lol, the triangle gives you an easy method to learn the formulas...
it's just a memorization trick... it has nothing to do with actual triangles...

it's really not... seriously, once you learn the triangle, you never forget it, and it's really simple...
