How to slove velocity equation
Answers
Explanation:
velocity=displacemant/time taken
Velocity formula = displacement ÷ time
Displacement = final position – initial position or change in position
Time = taken to cover the distance.
Now let’s take some values to understand the formula clearly. Suppose Mr. X initial position is ai and his final position is af and he has taken t time to cover this distance then the equation will be.
v = af – ai / t = a / t
Here
v = velocity which is m/s (meter per second)
af = final position of X
ai = initial position of X
t = time taken by the object to move along the distance (s)
a =change in position (final – initial) (m)
Solved Example on Velocity Formula
Now let’s test the equation with the help of examples.
Example 1- Suppose there is an object traveled a distance of 10 meters in the left direction and the time taken by the object is 2 minutes. Find the velocity of the object.
Solution
Now recall the formula which is velocity = displacement ÷ time
v = a / t
Now put the values in the formula. But first of all change minutes into time by multiplying minutes by 60.
Time in seconds = time in minutes × number of seconds in a minute
ts = 2 × 60 = 120 s
So, time in seconds is 120 s
v = 10 / 120
v = 0.08 m/s
