Frequently Asked Questions
What is the velocity formula?
v = d / t. Average velocity equals distance divided by elapsed time.
Why does the calculator show km/h and mph?
Different countries use different units. m/s is SI standard; km/h and mph are common for vehicles and athletics.
Can I use this for projectiles?
Only for average horizontal velocity. Use the free-fall or acceleration calculator for changing-velocity motion.
What is the difference between average and instantaneous velocity?
Average velocity is total displacement divided by total time (v = d / t), which is what this calculator returns. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a single moment - the limit of d / t over a vanishingly small interval. They match only when motion is at constant velocity; on a variable-speed trip the average tells you nothing about the speed at any given instant.
