In science the symbol that is used to represent speed is a lowercase v for velocity. Remember that an objects velocity is a vector. It has a magnitude and a direction. Velocity is most commonly given units of m/s.
As is the case with many physical properties, the symbol for velocity is the word's first letter - 'v' ; however a Vector Notation (an arrow pointing right) should be placed over it so not to be confused with speed whose symbol is also a v.
v = d/t
where:
v - velocity
d - distance
t - time
I have usually seen this expressed as "a".
Speed and direction of the object. Speed is but an object moving in a straight line, while velocity is a change in direction of the object i.e. 45kph in a nnw direction.
The symbol for instantaneous velocity is vi.
The line on a position-time graph represents velocity.
v
Velocity is the rate of change in an object's location over time, also known as speed.
change in time, initial velocity and final velocity
Accelaration= change in velocity/time taken OR Acceleration=final velocity- initial velocity/time taken

j (joules)
A change in velocity is known as acceleration .

The lowercase Greek letter "omega" is often used - it looks like a rounded "w". (When this symbol is used, angular velocity is usually specified in radians per second.)The lowercase Greek letter "omega" is often used - it looks like a rounded "w".

No; the change in velocity over time is called acceleration.Speed and velocity are used interchangeably in popular language; in physics, the word "speed" is used for a scalar (that is, when the direction is irrelevant), and "velocity" is used for a vector (that is, when you need both a magnitude and a direction).No; the change in velocity over time is called acceleration.Speed and velocity are used interchangeably in popular language; in physics, the word "speed" is used for a scalar (that is, when the direction is irrelevant), and "velocity" is used for a vector (that is, when you need both a magnitude and a direction).No; the change in velocity over time is called acceleration.Speed and velocity are used interchangeably in popular language; in physics, the word "speed" is used for a scalar (that is, when the direction is irrelevant), and "velocity" is used for a vector (that is, when you need both a magnitude and a direction).No; the change in velocity over time is called acceleration.Speed and velocity are used interchangeably in popular language; in physics, the word "speed" is used for a scalar (that is, when the direction is irrelevant), and "velocity" is used for a vector (that is, when you need both a magnitude and a direction).
C is ussally the symbol used to denote the velocity of light.

Velocity is the rate of change in an object's location over time, also known as speed.
Change in velocity / time
Accelaration= change in velocity/time taken OR Acceleration=final velocity- initial velocity/time taken
