The change in distance divided by change in time. So say it moved 10 meters in 5 seconds, it would be 2 meters per second.

Why do you need to calculate velocity instead of speed?

Speed and Velocity are two different things . Velocity- "the rate at which an object changes its position." Speed- "How fast an object is moving". To calculate speed and velocity, you first need to calculate distance and time. Velocity is considered to be a more logical term


What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?

Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time


What does velocity tell you about a moving object?

Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.


How do you know something is moving faster than some other object?

Calculate the average velocity for the objects.


What are diifferent word for object?

a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.


How can you use integers to represent the velocity and the speed of an object?

This was the essential question on a homework assignment. Speed tells how fast an object is moving but it does not tell the direction. Velocity tells how fast an object is moving and it also tells the direction. When velocity is positive, the object is moving up. When velocity is negative, the object is moving down.


How are velocity and acceleration different?

acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.


To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line you must calculate the charge in distance during unit of time?

You calculate the charge in velocity, not in distance.


How do you calculate how much energy needed to stop a moving object?

1/2mv2 where m=mass, v=velocity (or acceleration)


What are the condition for an object to stay at rest the moving at constant velocity?

The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.


What is the property of moving object that depends upon the object's mass and moving velocity?

Momentum


What are conditions for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity?

The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.
