Velocity is displacement over time — like speed, but with direction (sign) included.

The math behind it

v = Δx ÷ Δt. A negative displacement gives a negative velocity, showing motion in the opposite direction.

Worked Example

120 m in 8 s → 15 m/s = 54 km/h.

Frequently Asked Questions

Velocity vs speed?

Speed is the magnitude; velocity also carries direction.
