What is Velocity?
Velocity is a vector quantity describing the rate of change of position with respect to time. It has both magnitude and direction.
v = ฮx / ฮtAverage Velocity
Average velocity is the total displacement divided by total time. It considers only the straight-line start-to-end distance.
v = (xโโxโ)/(tโโtโ)Instantaneous Velocity
Velocity at a specific instant in time. It is the derivative of position with respect to time โ limit of average velocity as ฮt โ 0.
v = dx/dtSI Unit & Dimensions
The standard unit of velocity is metre per second (m/s). Its dimensional formula is [Mโฐ Lยน Tโปยน].
