Average Velocity

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
