Velocity (V) = Displacement (S) / Time (T)
Don't confuse displacement with distance, as displacement is how far away you are from your original starting position whilst distance is the total amount of travel.
For example:
You walk 20 meters from your starting position, and then walk 10 meters back. Your displacement is thus 10 meters and your distance is 30 meters.
Also, don't forget that you must include the direction in your final answer for velocity. You find the direction either by being given the possibilities in the question or just using something to represent it. North [N] and East [E] represents positive, South [S] and West [W] representing negatives.
Using the previous example:
V = 20 m [N or E] / 10 s
EQUALS
V = 2 m/s [N or E]
Tailor your directions to your question, such that if you got a question about a Basketball game you could simply use [Upcourt] to represent positivity and [Downcourt] to represent negativity in your numbers.S

What is the equation for fluid flow?
is the equation for flow velocity
What is the equation for acceleration?
Final Velocity- Initial Velocity Time
What is the equation for motion?
Which one SPEED? VELOCITY? ACCELERATION ?...
What is the equation for frequency of a wave?
velocity = frequency multiply wavelength Rearrange the equation to find the frequency
What equation can you use to find acceleration?
Acceleration equals the change in the velocity divided by time. The change in the velocity is found by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity. It is written as "a equals delta v over t."
What is the equation for fluid flow?
is the equation for flow velocity
What is the equation for acceleration?
Final Velocity- Initial Velocity Time
What is the velocity vector equation?
You have to solve Newton's equation ΣF=ma in order to find the velocity and displacement vectors.
What is the equation of velocity?
Velocity = Distance/Time V = d/t
What is the velocity equation?
If the velocity is constant then it is enough to use the equation, s = vt. S- the displacement, t - time elapsed and v the uniform or constant velocity. If velocity changes, then acceleration is there in action. Hence the final velocity after time t will be given as v = u + at.
What is the equation for convertin speed to velocity?
There is no special equation. But to fully specify a velocity, you need to know an object's speed as well as the direction in it moves.
Can calculate average acceleration of an obj ect given change in velocity with respect to time?
Acceleration is the derivative of the velocity expression. If you have an equation for velocity, simply take the derivative of it and you will have an equation for the average acceleration.
What is the equation for mean drift velocity?
I=Anev
Equation for calculating velocity when acceleration and time are known?
velocity=acceleration multiplied by time
What is the equation for velocity approaching that the speed of light?
The equation isv ≈ c
What is the equation for resultant velocity?
Velocity=displacement(distance)/time.
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?
Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)
