Uniform Linear Motion - Velocity

Uniform Linear Motion - Velocity
\[v = \frac{d}{t}\]

Variables

v = velocity (m/s)
d = distance traveled (m)
t = time elapsed (s)

Description

What is this formula?

This formula calculates the constant velocity of an object moving in a straight line during uniform linear motion.


When to use it

Use this equation when an object travels at constant speed with no acceleration.


Example

If a vehicle travels 150 m in 10 s:


v = 150 / 10 = 15 m/s


Applications

Basic physics, vehicle motion analysis, transportation studies, industrial conveyor systems, and engineering calculations.
