velocity is the distance divided by the time it takes to go that distance.
let velocity equal V
let distance equal D
let time equal T
v = d/t
velocity has units of length per rate
distance has units of length
time has units of rate
the length can have units such as
1) meters, centimeters, millimeters, kilometers
2) feet, inches
3) yards
the time can have units such as
1) seconds, minutes, hours, years
it depends on which system you are using for you units then you will know which units to choose from. the most common is meters per second (m/s)

What happpens to a car moving at a constant speed as it turns a corner?
The car undergoes a change in velocity. It accelerates (and does so at a constant rate - if the rate of turn is constant) in the direction of the turn. The speed is constant, but the direction the car is going changes at each instant in time because it is turning. And because it is changing direction, that means its velocity is changing (because velocity is speed plus a direction vector).
What are all the roots for the equation 3w - 14 - 6 21?
The roots (or solutions) are the numbers that 'w' must be in order to make the equation true.Since the highest power of 'w' in the equation is the first power, there's only one solution.3w - 14 - 6 = 21Combine the -14 and the -6 on the left side:3w - 20 = 21Add 20 to each side:3w = 41Divide each side by 3 :w = 41/3 = 132/3
Two buses depart from Chicago and going to New York and one to San Francisco. Each bus travels at a speed of 30ms. Do these buses have equal velocities explain.?
No the two buses do not have equal velocities because VELOCITY is the SPEED in a given DIRECTION. One would have a velocity of +30m/s because it is traveling in one direction, and the other would have a velocity of -30m/s because it is traveling in the opposite direction.
How does 0 25 50 75 and 1 relate to each other?
This is an arithmetic sequence; or a sequence that is done by addition of constant form of variable. In this case, the variable is x, and x = 25. Proof : 0+25 = 25 25+25=50 50+25= 75 75+25 = 1
What is the similarity between an ordinary chemical equation and a nuclear equation?
A chemical equation puts down on the LHS the chemicals mixed together and on the RHS the results. A nuclear equation puts on the LHS the target element, with an incident particle if relevant, and on the RHS the results. But in a chemical process the constituent elements must balance on each side, whereas with a nuclear change the elements can be converted to other elements.
