given distance- 200km
time-5 hours
speed- distance/time
200/5
40km/hr
Divide distance by time for speed
Divide speed by distance for time
Multiply speed and time for distance
Those are three ways to make sure you have it right
Average Velocity = (change in position) / (elapsed time)
Instantaneous Velocity = [limit as elapsed time approaches 0] (change in position) / (elapsed time)
Velocity is measured in m/s+ direction

∙ 9y agoVelocity of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time in a given direction. Velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude as well as direction. Velocity can be calculated using any of the 3 laws of motion given by Newton.

What instrument helps you calculate the velocity of a human?
barometer
How do you calculate force when mass and velocity are given?
Force equals the mass times the rate of change of the velocity.
How do you calculate impact Energy for Pneumatic Hammers or how to calculate the Hammer piston velocity?
Hammer piston velocity is: Velocity of an pneumatic cylinder can be calculated as s = 28.8 q / A (1) where s = velocity (inches/sec) q = volume flow (cubic feet/min)A = piston area (square inches) Do you know how to calculate the impact PSI? - This is where I get lost.
How do you calculate tak-off velocity of airplane?
peak height = (take off velocity^2)/(2*gravity)
If you know an objects mass and the force acting upon it you can calculate its acellaration but can you also calculate its maximum velocity If so whats the formula for this?
V=at. If you figure out the velocity of an object accelerating at 1 g for a year, you will get a velocity that is almost the speed of light (non-relativistically of course).
How do calculate the velocity of the boat relative to the shore?
Add the rivers velocity to the boats velocity
Why do you need to calculate velocity instead of speed?
Speed and Velocity are two different things . Velocity- "the rate at which an object changes its position." Speed- "How fast an object is moving". To calculate speed and velocity, you first need to calculate distance and time. Velocity is considered to be a more logical term
Why do you had to calculate acceleration with velocity?
Because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity: it is a measure of how quickly velocity is changing.
What two pieces of information are required to calculate average velocity?
Time and velocity
''How do calculate velocity?
To calculate velocity using acceleration, start by multiplying the acceleration by the change in time. For example, if the acceleration is 10 m/s2 and the change in time is 5 seconds, then there is a 50 m/s increase in velocity. Then, add the initial velocity to the increase in velocity.
What can you calculate from velocity time graph?
accrleration
Is it true that to calculate acceleraltion you need to know both the final and the initial velocity of an object?
No. That's only one of several possibilities. -- with initial velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with final velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with force and mass, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final momentum, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final kinetic energy, you can calculate acceleration -- with mass, velocity at either end, and kinetic energy at the other end, you can calculate acceleration And I'm sure there are several more that I've missed.
How to calculate if time and initial velocity are given?
This is difficult. We are not told what it is we are to calculate. We are not told how the velocity is changing (which it does, implied by the word "initial"). Suggest re-writing the question.
How do you calculate new velocity when speed changes?
That depends: based on what information? One calculation you might do is to add the original velocity with the velocity change (vector addition). However, normally you would proceed the other way: you would have to MEASURE the original velocity and the final velocity, and THEN calculate the difference in velocity.f
How do you calculate the velocity of a mass?
Speed divided by time.
How do you calculate velocity ratio in a pulley?
