How do i calculate time from speed and distance?
So lets say i have an brick moving really fast, i want to calculate the time it will take for it reach to the target brick, how can i do that? Is there any function i can use to do that?
( brick is moving straight)
Heres a image representation of what i mean :p

distance/speed = time. User#25115 0 — 5y

Remember that speed = distance/time, so speed*time = distance and distance/speed = time. User#25115 0 — 5y

Yeah but i dont know what functions i can use to calculate the brick its gonna hit, distance from that brick and time it will take Igoralexeymarengobr 365 — 5y

local function GetTimeToReach(part,part2,speed)--This calculates the time.
return GetDistance(part,part2)/speed
end
local function GetDistance(part,part2)--This calculates the distance of part from part2
return (part.Position-part2.Position).Magnitude
end
--Ex: The part speed is 2 studs per second
while wait() do
local TimeToImpact=GetTimeToReach(Part,Wall,2)
print("Distance: "..GetDistance(Part,Wall).." Studs. Time to impact: "..TimeToImpact)
end

indent please and use local variables for faster indexing since globals are adding to the registry and not the stack. EpicMetatableMoment 1444 — 5y

So take you distance, which for example might be 5 studs, and then take the speed, which might be 1 studs per second, then insert it into this formula: distance --------- = time speed In the example, the formula would be as follows: 5 studs --------- = 5 seconds 1 stud per second So just use that formula and you should be able to figure it out! Accept this answer if it solved your problem!
