ft/s; mi/h; km/h; m/s; cm/s
These mean feet per second; miles per hour; kilometers per hour; meters per second; and centimeter per second.
These are the most common units given for speed. (However, velocity and speed are not the same thing. Velocity includes the directionality of the speed.)
Velocity may be expressed as cms-1 in CGS unit and as ms-1 in SI unit.
Velocity can be expressed in units of distance over time such as meters per second, miles per hour, feet per second.
Or as any unit of distance, divided by any unit of time. The SI unit is meters/second. A commonly used unit is kilometers/hour.
The SI unit is meters/second, but any length unit divided by any time unit may be used, for example kilometers per hour, cm/minute, AU/week, etc.
m/s
(any unit of length) / (any unit of time)
(any unit of length) / (any unit of time) is a unit that can be used for the magnitude (size) of velocity, and must always be accompanied by a description of direction. Without it, all you have is a speed, not a velocity.
The S.I unit for velocity is meters per second (m s-1).
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.
(any unit of length) / (any unit of time) is a unit that can be used for the magnitude (size) of velocity, and must always be accompanied by a description of direction. Without it, all you have is a speed, not a velocity.
An object's weight may properly be expressed in units of Newtons (N) or pounds (lbs) as a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object.
metres per second ms-1
Velocity may be expressed as cm/second in CGS units and as m/sec in SI units. Other units include kilometers/hour (kph), miles per hour (mph), and feet/sec (fps)
(any unit of length) / (any unit of time) is a unit that can be used for the magnitude (size) of velocity, and must always be accompanied by a description of direction. Without it, all you have is a speed, not a velocity.
velocity is expressed in m/s
"Motion" can be expressed in units of speed. Or it might refer to momentum - in which case you would use any unit of mass x velocity.
The S.I unit for velocity is meters per second (m s-1).
Velocity is defined as change in positin per time. It is usually expressed in m/s , Km/s . miles per second etc.,
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.
(any unit of length) / (any unit of time) is a unit that can be used for the magnitude (size) of velocity, and must always be accompanied by a description of direction. Without it, all you have is a speed, not a velocity.
Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, and it requires units of mass times units of velocity. The SI unit is kilograms x meters / second. There is no special name for this combination of units.
Directions are expressed as units of
An object's weight may properly be expressed in units of Newtons (N) or pounds (lbs) as a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object.
