Get Time by Length

I want to get the Time from Length.

Here’s what I mean:

With an object that moves, let’s say, 4 studs per second, how do I get the time between Vector3.new(0,1,0) and Vector3.new(0,10,0)?

#2

Can’t you just like subtract the 2 vectors, get their magnitude and divide it by whatever the velocity is to find how much time passed in seconds?

print((Vector3.new(0,10,0) - Vector3.new(0,1,0)).Magnitude / 4) --Like this?
#3

Apparently not

The result should be the Time value?

#4

distance = speed * time
speed = distance / time
time = distance / speed

if the speed is in studs per second then the time will be in seconds

Time-distance-speed equation is pretty simple and interchangeable. What @BenMactavsin posted is correct.

time = distance / speed

So your distance is the magnitude of the difference between your vectors, then you divide by your speed. That will give you the time.

Yes, unless there is also acceleration involved and/or you’re only accounting for displacement between 2 points and not distance that is actually travelled.

Nah, the speed is constant.
