What is the velocity of a particle?

Asked by souvik

Answer (3)

Velocity of a particle is its speed and the direction in which it is moving.
It can also be described as the instantaneous rate of change of the particle's distance traveled, and the direction in which the distance is changing.

velocity is generally defined as the distance travelled by a particle in a particular time interval ...........its formula is given as v=d/t where v is velocity d is distance travelled and t is time interval..... its units are - kmph , m/s read as kilometers per second and meters per second

Velocity refers to the speed of an object in a specific direction, making it a vector quantity. It can be calculated as average velocity over a time interval using the formula Average Velocity = Time Displacement ​ . The SI unit for measuring velocity is meters per second (m/s).
