Average Velocity Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Average Velocity.
AV = (IV + FV) / 2
- Where AV is the average velocity (m/s)
- IV is the initial velocity (m/s)
- FV is the final velocity (m/s)
To calculate the average velocity, add together the initial and final velocity, then divide by 2.
What is an Average Velocity?
Definition:
An average velocity is defined as the average change in distance with respect to time.
How to Calculate Average Velocity?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate the Average Velocity.
First, determine the initial velocity. In this example, the initial velocity is found to be 20 m/s.
Next, determine the final velocity. For this problem, the final velocity is found to be 30m/2.
Finally, calculate the Average Velocity using the formula above:
AV = IV + FV / 2
AV = 20 + 30 / 2
AV = 25 m/s
