What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar (magnitude only). Velocity is a vector (magnitude + direction). Speed = 60 mph. Velocity = 60 mph north. In calculations without direction, they use the same formula: v = d/t.

What is the formula for velocity?

v = d/t (velocity = distance ÷ time). Rearranged: d = v×t (distance = velocity × time) and t = d/v (time = distance ÷ velocity).

Velocity Calculator

Quick answer: Enter any two of velocity, distance, or time to solve for the third.

Calculate velocity (v = d/t), distance, or time — solving for any one variable when the other two are known. Results shown in m/s, mph, and kph.
