Velocity is displacement divided by time. Displacement is different from distance traveled, as displacement states how far you traveled in RELATION to a starting point.
The formula for Velocity is ---- v = x / t
v = Velocity
x = Displacement
t = Time velocity is a vector quantity so the direction should also be specified unless it is implicit in the problem.

How can you figure out velocity?
You check out the speed and direction, and times them together, and it will tell you the velocity of the object.
How do you find acceleration if only given a velocity?
If you have an initial and final velocity and time you can figure it out with this equation, Vf squared=Vi squared1/2a(t squared) If you don't have those you cannot find acceleration. However the acceleration on Earth is a constant -9.81
How can you find velocity from only force and mass?
You would need to use the equation f=ma In this equation, f means force, m means mass, and a means acceleration. So dividing the force by the mass will give you a figure for acceleration. If you know how long the object has been accelerating for, or how far, and what the initial velocity was (or whether it started off still) then you can work out the velocity from this acceleration.
Can constant velocity be zero?
Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.
Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
How do you figure terminal velocity?
That's the velocity at which the force of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity.
What is a motion in which a figure moves in one direction?
velocity
How can you figure out velocity?
You check out the speed and direction, and times them together, and it will tell you the velocity of the object.
How do you figure out velocity without time when you do have distance and loss of potential energy?
you cannot figure out the change in velocity given just the distance and loss of potential energy. you need more information
If a car goes in 6.8 seconds how do you figure out the acceleration?
To calculate acceleration, you need to know the initial velocity of the car and its final velocity after 6.8 seconds. The acceleration can be found using the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
What is the formula to figure out flow rate?
In general, Q=V•A, or discharge equals perpendicular velocity times area.
How do I figure the Gulf Stream velocity to knots?
if i am not mistaken gul stream's velocity is 4 mph 1 mile = 0.868976242 if you multiply that number by 4, you should get 3.47590496 knots, Hope this helpes!
A Girl-Walks Along A streight path to drop a letter and comes back to her initial position her displacement - time graph is shown in figure plot a velocity - time for the same?
Since the displacement graph is a straight line, the velocity-time graph will be a horizontal line at the slope of the displacement graph, representing a constant velocity. The velocity will be zero when the girl drops the letter and when she returns to her initial position.
What is the amount of energy that is used to reach Earth's Escape Velocity?
Honestly there is no way to measure the amount of energy that is used to reach Earth's Escape Velocity. Scientists have been trying to figure out formulas for years they are getting close to figuring out the correct formula. It may take up to a year to figure it out though.
Describe the motion of a car shown by the distance -graph in figure 1a?
The distance vs. time graph in figure 1a shows a car is at rest for the initial time period, then moves with a constant positive velocity for a while until it comes to a stop again. This indicates the car accelerates, maintains a constant velocity, and then decelerates to a stop.
What figure could represent the velocity versus time graph of a motorcycle whose speed is increasing?
A straight line with a positive slope could represent the velocity versus time graph of a motorcycle whose speed is increasing.
What is the velocity and in what direction at time 9 seconds?
Without knowing some of the conditions that led up to the situation at 9 seconds, I'm afraid there's no way to figure that out. By the way, once you know the 'velocity', you know the 'direction'. 'Velocity' means speed and direction. It's not just a big technical-sounding word for 'speed'.
