Okay so my homework is on finding the constant velocity can someone please tell me the formula i would use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

constant velocity of what? Whats the question? If you acceleration is uniform, i.e. not changing then use suvat equations.

Constant velocity is when the force is zero or acceleration is zero. In the real world, force cannot be zero for constant velocity because of friction. But if you need not worry about friction, you may simply ignore it. the equation is, \[d = vt \] where 'd' is displacement, 'v' is velocity, and 't' is time. If acceleration is uniform, that means that there is a constant force being applied. The equations for that are as follows, \[d = v _{1}t + 0.5at ^{2}\] where 'v1' is initial velocity, 't' is final velocity, and 'a' is acceleration. The rest are the same. \[v _{2}^{2} - v _{1}^{2} = 2ad\] where 'v2' is the final velocity. The rest is the same. \[v _{2} = v _{1} + at\] These three equations can be rearranged to solve pretty much any problem in kinematics.
