"v" is short for velocity. Now, "velocity" is not exactly the same as "speed" (velocity includes the direction - in other words, it is a vector), so it may be a misnomer in some cases. I believe "s" is avoided because the symbol is often used for distances.

What is the scientific formula for speed?

Speed is equal to the change in distance over the change in time, or V = D/T where V is speed, D is distance and T is time. If you mean the drug "amphetamine" know as "speed" the formula is C9H13N (1-phenylpropan-2-amine) Correction: [No, actually V doesn't stand for speed, V is velocity.] Correction to the correction v with an arrow above it is velocity. small case v is speed but in this formula the capitol V is volume so that is wrong

How do you find instantaneous speed of the body at certain point?

To obtain instantaneous speed you will need to utilize the formula v = speed multiplied by time if you have the speed already. If you do not have the speed use v = dx/dt.


Best blade angle?

the best angle is "45 degree" because the air speed coming out of the fan is giving by this equation V=v.tanθ were : V: air speed,,, v: is the blades speed and we got the maximum of the speed by making the angle 45

How do you messure wave speed?

Using the universal wave equation which is v=fλ where v is speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength For example: If you have wavelength of 0.090m and the frequency of said wave is 4.5Hz, the speed would be: v=(4.5Hz)(0.090m) therefore v=0.405m/s The speed of the wave is 0.405m/s


How do you solve for instantaneous speed?

it is just the same equation for average speed v=d/t, unless the object is accelerating. Then the formula is v(instant) = v(initial) + at.
