Average Velocity
Distance traveled and time taken

Average velocity can be expressed as
v = ds / dt (1)
where
v = velocity (m/s, ft/s)
ds = distance traveled (m, ft)
dt = time taken (s)
Example - Average Velocity
A car travels a distance of 60 km in one hour, average velocity can be calculated as
v = (60 km) (1000 m/km) / ((1 hour) (3600 s/hour))
= 16.7 m/s
