Best Answer

Meters/second is the SI unit. Or use any other unit of length, divided by any other unit of time.

Is velocity a derived unit?

Velocity is displacement per unit time. Therefore the units of velocity are derived units (ms-1)


What is the standard units of velocity?

Velocity is speed and its direction. The units of velocity are any unit of speed and any means of indicating a direction.


What are units for velocity squared?

The SI unit for velocity is m/s. Therefore the SI units for velocity squared would be m2/s2.


Why the time twice in unit acceleration?

An acceleration is not a velocity - it is the rate of change of velocity. In SI units, the units of velocity are meters/second. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, per unit time - how fast the velocity changes. Therefore, its units are velocity / time. In SI units, this gives you (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.


How do units for speed and velocity compare?

The units are the same (metres per second) except that the velocity also has the direction of motion associated with it.


How is average velocity different from acceleration?

For a start, acceleration doesn't even have the same units as velocity: acceleration is a velocity divided by time, so while speed or velocity have units of [distance]/[time], acceleration has units of [distance]/[time squared]


What are the units associated with mass x velocity?

Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, and it requires units of mass times units of velocity. The SI unit is kilograms x meters / second. There is no special name for this combination of units. Impulse (force times time) has the same units.


How fast is 5996 cc in MPH?

Volume units cannot be converted into velocity units.


How do you convert acceleration units to velocity units?

To convert acceleration to velocity, you must integrate.Similarly, to convert velocity to distance, you must integrate a second time. This is why the distance covered by a projectile is a second order quadratic equation.


What is volocify?

Do you mean "what is velocity?" If so, velocity is the distance an object has travelled in a specific unit of time. The SI units for velocity are m/s. Note that velocity is a vector; a vector must have a direction. Therefore, velocity is a speed in a given direction. Do not confuse velocity with acceleration, as acceleration is the change in velocity from two points in time. The units for acceleration are m/s^2.


What are the standard metric units of velocity?

km/h


What are the units for average velocity?

The S.I unit for velocity is meters per second (m s-1).
