Position via constant speed and time¶

If a body is moving with constant speed, its position can be expressed as a linear function of time.

Conditions:

Speed is constant, i.e. \(\frac{d v}{d t} = 0.\)

Wikipedia, derivable from the vector counterpart of this law.

final_position¶

position at time.

Symbol:: x
Latex:: \(x\)
Dimension:: length

initial_position¶

position at \(t = 0\).

Symbol:: x_0
Latex:: \(x_{0}\)
Dimension:: length

speed¶

Constant speed.

Symbol:: v
Latex:: \(v\)
Dimension:: velocity

time¶

time at which final_position is measured.

Symbol:: t
Latex:: \(t\)
Dimension:: time

law¶

x = x_0 + v * t

Latex:: \[x = x_{0} + v t\]
