When velocity is doubled, the distance traveled by an object will also change, but how it changes depends on the context of the motion being considered.
If we consider the equation for distance, which is:
Distance = Velocity × Time
According to this formula, if the velocity is doubled (let’s say from v to 2v), and if the time remains constant, the distance will also double. This means:
New Distance = (2v) × Time = 2 × (v × Time) = 2 × Original Distance
Thus, if you travel at double the speed for the same amount of time, you will cover twice the distance.
However, it’s essential to note that this relation holds true under constant conditions without any factors like acceleration or deceleration affecting the motion. In real-world scenarios where those factors come into play, the relationship between velocity, distance, and time can be more complex.
