Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

none of these

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
