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)


What is the similarity between constant speed and acceleration?

If the speed is constant then equal distances are covered in equal intervals of time If acceleration is constant then equal change in velocity occurs in equal intervals of time.


What is the relationship between the variables distance and time?

Velocity is a vector, which means it has magnitude and direction. Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement (distance), or delta-s over delta-t. In other words, if you divide the distance traveled by the time it took to cover the distance, you know the velocity. For example, if you cover 100 miles (delta-s = 100 miles) in two hours (delta-t = 2 hours), then the velocity is 100/2 = 50 miles per hour. Note that a change in direction also constitutes a change in velocity. But this example concentrates on the magnitude, that is, speed.


What are the similarities between speed and acceleration?

The two words are synonyms. However, in physics there is a more precise definition, which is a change in an object's position in a specified direction with time. So in everyday language we could say the speed of the car is 60 miles per hour, but in physics you'd say its velocity is 60 miles per hour North/South/East/West.


How many light years are equal to 4.5 billion years?

A light year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year.

How do you find distance when you know the time and velocity?

Simple, velocity = distance by time ,which probably means distance = velocity X times.


When do you say that the velocity of the car is equal?

when a car travels equal distance in equal intervals of time its velocity is uniform and equal


When is speed equal to magnitude of velocity?

Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity almost always. Speed is total distance / total time no matter which way the distance goes. Velocity is the distance from a starting point divided by total time.


What is the formula of getting the velocity?

Velocity is equal to distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel. v = d / t Velocity also equals the initial velocity plus the acceleration times time. v = v1 + a(t)


Does displacement times velocity equal time?

no


What is the distance that the object travels in the first 5 seconds?

To find the distance traveled in the first 5 seconds, we multiply the average velocity by the time traveled. If the object's velocity is constant, this distance is equal to the velocity multiplied by the time.


Distance equals velocity time the equation sHow is that distance varies as time?

Distance is dependent on time. If there is no time, there is no distance, as distance = velocity * time. As time or speed increases so will distance, therefore, if distance increases, either speed or time must increase. If either speed or time = 0, then distance will equal 0.


Is velocity equal to force divided by distance?

No. Velocity = distance divided by time. Example: a body covers 100 metres distance in 10 seconds velocity = 100 / 10 = 10 m/s


If you know the velocity and the distance but not the time which way do you divide velocity divided by distance or distance divided by velocity?

distance divided by velocity will give time


If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?

The equation that relates the distance traveled by a constantly accelerating object to its initial velocity, final velocity, and time is the equation of motion: [ \text{distance} = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{initial velocity} + \text{final velocity}) \times \text{time} ] This equation assumes constant acceleration.


What is speed times time?

Speed times time equals distance


Equations for velocity?

Velocity = distance / unit of time
