Key terms explained

Velocity
The speed of an object in a given direction.

Frequently asked questions

Multiply velocity by time: s = v × t. 20 m/s for 5 s gives 100 m.

Yes. For changing speed, use the average velocity or the equations of motion with acceleration.

Distance is total path length; displacement is the straight-line change in position with direction.

Metres when velocity is in m/s and time in seconds.
