so if A is the acceleration
and T is time
and D is distance
then
D = A * T^2
right?
and T is time
and D is distance
then
D = A * T^2

Nope, it's (A *T^2 )/2vbman11 said:so if A is the acceleration

To calculate the distance traveled, you can use the equation d = 0.5 x a x t^2, where d is the distance, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. Make sure to use the same units for all variables.
If you have the initial velocity, final velocity, and time, you can use the equation d = 0.5 x (v0 + vf) x t to calculate the distance traveled. If you only have the average velocity and time, you can use the equation d = v x t, where v is the average velocity.
The equation d = 0.5 x a x t^2 is specifically for calculating the distance traveled during constant acceleration. If the acceleration is not constant, you will need to use a different equation, such as d = v0 x t + 0.5 x a x t^2, where v0 is the initial velocity.
If the object is moving in two dimensions, you will need to break down the motion into its x and y components and use separate equations for each component. The total distance traveled will be the result of adding the distances traveled in each component.
If you have access to a motion sensor or tracker, you can use it to directly measure the distance traveled by the object. This will give you a more accurate result compared to using equations and calculations.
