Average Speed by Displacement

The speed of an object is the rate of change of its position.

The speed is the displacement of an object divided by the time.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Overscript["v", "_"], "Speed"] == QuantityVariable["d", "Distance"]/QuantityVariable["t", "Time"]

symbol description physical quantity
average speed "Speed"
d distance "Distance"
t time "Time"

Examples

Get the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Average Speed by Displacement"]
Out[1]=

Get the formula:

In[2]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Average Speed by Displacement"]]
Out[2]=

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Average Speed by Displacement"], 
 RandomSample[{QuantityVariable[
\!\(\*OverscriptBox[\("v"\), \("_"\)]\),"Speed"] -> 
    Quantity[1, ("Meters")/("Seconds")], 
   QuantityVariable["d","Distance"] -> Quantity[1, "Meters"], 
   QuantityVariable["t","Time"] -> Quantity[1, "Seconds"]}, -1]]
Out[3]=
