Distance between 2 points and time taken - Speed keeps increasing as the distance get further why?

[Goodluckboss]

Hi guys,

I am trying to calculate the time taken between 2 points for a game with X and Y coordinates.

When I plot in the actual time taken based on the game data, and the X Y coordinates, I can't find a constant speed between them.

I noticed as the distance get further, the speed seems to increase.

Does anyone know where I got the formula wrong?

I am using a simple pythagoras formula to calculate distance between 2 points

Your calculations look good to me.
What makes you think they're wrong.

That is because I am trying to reverse engineer the formula used to calculate the march time between 2 X Y coord. However, with an increasing Speed the further the distance, I do not know how to calculate it.

If the distance is 20 vs the distance is 40, the speed is actually different.

Is the speed meant to be constant?

I thought it was but when I compared the actual data vs the calculated data, it seems that there is an acceleration added into it. How would the formula be changed to adapt to an acceleration element in this case?

I've no idea because I have no idea what you are trying to do, or what your formulae are.

Hi,​

​

as the Velocity formula must be known …​
