Best Answer

The SI unit for velocity is m/s. Therefore the SI units for velocity squared would be m2/s2.

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]


Why do we a use the units meters per second squared when we talk about acceleration?

For every second of acceleration the velocity is increased by that acceleration.


How do you square velocity?

While you cannot physically square your velocity, such as you are traveling at 10 meters per second, and then there's another dimension where you are 100 meters squared per second squared, velocity squared comes up in various physics calculations. Kinetic energy of an object in motion is (1/2)*mass*(velocity squared). This just means that you take the velocity and square the number, and also square the units, so (10 m/s)2 = 100 m2 / s2 for the calculation.


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)


What is the product of velocity and speed?

Except for the fact that velocity has a direction, velocity and speed have the same units; so you would have a speed squared (plus a direction). As far as I know, this has no physical significance - meaning that you won't normally carry out this multiplication.


How do you calculate mass when given joules and velocity?

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (velocity squared)Divide each sideby (velocity squared/2): Mass in kg = ( 2 x energy in joules) / (velocity in m/s) squared


What are units squared divided by units?

Imagine 4squared (16) divided by 4 (4). Therefore units squared divided by units would be units.


What is area of a parallelogram if the area is 2 units squared?

The area is 2 units squared.


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 is the homogeneity of v2 equals u2 plus 2as?

Each term in the equation has dimensions of velocity-squared (remember "a" here is acceleration which is velocity divided by time, so "as" is velocity x distance / time = velocity squared).


Are a hundred squared units and a hundred units squared both valid answers for a question?

Yes, but not to the same question.
