How do I calculate velocity with examples?

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. To calculate it, you can use the formula: velocity = displacement / time.

Can you give me an example of calculating velocity?

Sure! If a car travels 100 meters to the east in 5 seconds, the velocity would be 100m / 5s = 20 m/s east.

What if the car travels back to the starting point?

If the car returns to the starting point, the total displacement is 0, so the velocity would be 0 m/s.

Are there different types of velocity?

Yes, there are two main types: average velocity and instantaneous velocity. Average is over a time interval, while instantaneous is at a specific moment.
