How do you find velocity when given three numbers?

Asked by Zoe15

Answer (2)

In general, that's not possible, unless the three numbers relate to very specific quantities.
For example, if the three numbers are the object's height, temperature, and cost, then they are of no help at finding the object's velocity.

To find velocity with three numbers, identify the physical values they represent, such as distance and time, and use the formulas V a vg ​ = t d ​ for average velocity or V f ​ = u + a t if acceleration is involved. An example could involve calculating average velocity with a distance of 100 m over 10 s, resulting in an average velocity of 10 m/s. Careful consideration of what each number represents is essential for accurate calculations.
