Average Velocity - Calculating average value

Average velocity can be calculated by dividing total distance covered by total time taken, average velocity is very helpful in calculating speed of varying body for given time intervals.

Average velocity

To calculate Average velocity:

  • What you want to calculate

  • Initial Velocity(v0)

    m/s

  • Velocity(v)

    m/s

  • Average Velocity(va)

    m/s

  •  

Formula:
Average Velocity: va = ½ (v0 + v)
Initial Velocity: v0 = 2xva - v
Velocity: v = 2xva - v0
where,
v0 = Initial Velocity
v = Velocity.

Average velocity can be calculated by dividing total distance covered by total time taken, average velocity is very helpful in calculating speed of varying body for given time intervals.
