How is average velocity different from acceleration?
For a start, acceleration doesn't even have the same units as velocity: acceleration is a velocity divided by time, so while speed or velocity have units of [distance]/[time], acceleration has units of [distance]/[time squared]
How do you convert acceleration units to velocity units?
To convert acceleration to velocity, you must integrate.Similarly, to convert velocity to distance, you must integrate a second time. This is why the distance covered by a projectile is a second order quadratic equation.
How do you get velocity when time in seconds is 0.1 and distance is 8?
velocity=distance/time for uniform velocity. You need units for both the time and the distance to get a correct answer. Example: the speed limit is 65 miles/hour
What is volocify?
Do you mean "what is velocity?" If so, velocity is the distance an object has travelled in a specific unit of time. The SI units for velocity are m/s. Note that velocity is a vector; a vector must have a direction. Therefore, velocity is a speed in a given direction. Do not confuse velocity with acceleration, as acceleration is the change in velocity from two points in time. The units for acceleration are m/s^2.
Why does a unit of time enter a unit or acceleration twice?
Acceleration is defined as a change of velocity divided by a time. Since the units for velocity are distance / time, you naturally get units of (distance / time) / time.
What is a synonym for velocity?
There is no synonym to velocity. there is no directionality in velocity. speed is a measure of rotation around a center expressed in revolutions per unit of time. Velocity is a measure of distance in units of time with no direction. Vectors indicate direction.
What is the scientific definiton of speed?
Speed is the magnitude of velocity, with units of distance divided by time. An important distinction is that speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector. Consequently, speed (unlike velocity) does not have a direction.
What is the equation for velocity what units for each variable?
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)
Is the unit of speed a basic unit or a derived unit?
It is a derived unit. It measure distance traveled per unit of time. For example meter per second or m/s. Speed or velocity as it is sometimes called is derived from the units for distance and time.
Is velocity a derived unit?
Velocity is displacement per unit time. Therefore the units of velocity are derived units (ms-1)
What is the standard units of velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. The units of velocity are any unit of speed and any means of indicating a direction.
What are units for velocity squared?
The SI unit for velocity is m/s. Therefore the SI units for velocity squared would be m2/s2.
