> [!summary] Velocity tells you how fast you are going as well as the direction you are going. Its the rate of change of displacement. > **Key Equations:** > Velocity: $\vec{v}= \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta}=\frac{dx}{dt}$ >[!info]+ Read Time **⏱ 1 min** # Definition Velocity is a [[Scalar & Vectors|vector]] quantity that tells you how fast and in what direction you are moving. It can be positive or negative. Velocity is the [[Instantaneous|instantaneous change]] of [[Displacement|displacement]]. Mathematically, it's the [[Displacement|displacement]] over time or the [[Derivative|derivative]] of displacement. $ \text{Velocity}= \frac{\text{Displacment}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{dx}{dt} $ # Resources <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X4Wxd4m-QVc?si=s_IgJxTaCmyya398" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> --- <!-- Light Mode Newsletter Embed --> <div class="mm-form-light"> <iframe src="https://updates.cyberleadhub.com/widget/form/Y0kpQVpjJQuxEfX59m17" id="inline-Y0kpQVpjJQuxEfX59m17" title="Join Math & Matter Newsletter (Light)" data-height="900" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" loading="lazy" style="width:100%;height:350px;border:none;border-radius:10px;background:transparent;overflow:hidden" ></iframe> </div> <!-- Dark Mode Newsletter Embed --> <div class="mm-form-dark"> <iframe src="https://updates.cyberleadhub.com/widget/form/lbeDLm24VjuaFxhjccA1" id="inline-lbeDLm24VjuaFxhjccA1" title="Join Math & Matter Newsletter (Dark)" data-height="900" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" loading="lazy" style="width:100%;height:350px;border:none;border-radius:10px;background:transparent;overflow:hidden" ></iframe> </div> <!-- Provider script (only once) --> <script src="https://updates.cyberleadhub.com/js/form_embed.js"></script>
