How to Use This Calculator

1

Select Velocity Type

Choose the type of velocity you want to calculate: Average Velocity (v = Δx/Δt), Instantaneous Velocity, or Relative Velocity.

2

Choose Units

Select between Metric (m/s, km/h) or Imperial (ft/s, mph) units for your calculations.

3

Enter Parameters

Input the required values for your selected velocity type. The calculator will show different input fields based on your selection.

4

Review Results

View your calculated velocity, the formula used, and visual breakdown of the calculation components.

Velocity Calculation Tips

Average velocity is the total displacement divided by total time

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific moment in time

Velocity is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction

Speed is the magnitude of velocity (scalar quantity)

Always double-check your units - mixing metric and imperial can lead to incorrect results

For accurate calculations, consider all forces acting on the system
