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?
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 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 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?
Acceleration= distance / velocity squared
What is an example of average acceleration?
All acceleration in real life is an average figure = velocity increase / 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!
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).
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.
The velocity time graph of a ball moving on surface of floor is shown in figure calculate the force acting on ball if mass of floor is 20gram?
a ball rolled across a horizontal table moved at cont ant velocity why?
How can you increase the velocity of thre ore?
We can use Newtons 2nd law to figure this out. The formula is Force (Resultant) = Mass x Acceleration. The ores mass is constant. If you use a greater force, working out the formula, the velocity increases.
