Velocity vs Time

How Velocity Is Determined

Velocity measures the rate at which an object changes position.

Core Relation

v = d / t

where *d* is the distance covered and *t* is the time interval. Multiply by 3.6 to convert m/s to km/h.

Example Calculation

A runner covers 100 meters in 10 seconds.

  1. 01v = d / t
  2. 02v = 100 / 10
  3. 03v = 10 m/s
  4. 04In km/h: 10 * 3.6 = 36 km/h
