Velocity is speed in a particular direction. Usually miles per hour or metres pet second . So that means that velocity is distance divided by time. Displacement is a distance measured in miles, metres etc. And is the difference between the starting position and the finishing position.

Is angular displacement and angular velocity the same?

no, velocity=displacement/time


What is the relationship between displacement and velocity?

velocity = displacement / time taken


How do you you find displacement from velocity?

Velocity is defined asv = dx/dtwhere:v is velocity;dx is displacement;and dt is elapsed time.Assuming velocity is constant, then displacement is calculated as:dx = v/dt.


Is displacement the change in velocity of an object?

Velocity is change in displacement over time.


If displacement is not changing as a function of time then what can we say about velocity?

If the displacement is not changing, the velocity is zero.


Calculated using displacement divided by time?

Velocity is displacement/time.


The rate of change of displacement is called?

The rate of change of displacement is called a velocity.


Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicates a very large velocity?

Yes it does. Velocity = Displacement / Time. On a graph of displacement vs time, the slope is the velocity. Steeper slope = higher velocity, flatter slope = lower velocity.


Equation for calculating average velocity from displacement and time interval?

a=dv/dt average velocity = displacement divided by time take. so average velocity = displacement/time taken.


What is describe velocity?

velocity is displacement / time. Displacement is shortest distance between initial and final point


Is drift velocity the velocity of an electron or its displacement?

It is type of velocity of electron.


How do you find displacement when you only have acceleration initial velocity and final velocity?

Kinematics. Final velocity squared = initial velocity squared + 2(gravitational acceleration)(displacement)
