    From the equation for uniform linear acceleration, the distance covered = + for initial speed =, constant acceleration (acceleration due to gravity without air resistance), and time elapsed , it follows that the distance is proportional to (in symbols, ), thus the distance from the starting point are consecutive squares for integer values of time elapsed.

    One of the possible routes, between Stornoway and Ullapool, would be over 50 miles (80 km) long and hence the longest road tunnel in the world; [36] [37] however, shorter routes would be possible. Stornoway is the public transport hub of Lewis, with bus services to Point, Ness, Back and Tolsta, Uig, the West Side, Lochs and Tarbert, Harris ...

    The first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 2 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. On the other hand, the penultimate equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_geometry

    Distance geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with characterizing and studying sets of points based only on given values of the distances between pairs of points. [1] [2] [3] More abstractly, it is the study of semimetric spaces and the isometric transformations between them. In this view, it can be considered as a subject within ...

    The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.
