Velocity Calculator
Distance and time in, speed out — with the multiply-back check.
Example — 100 km in 2 hours50 km/h
How we got it — the example, step by step
- Velocity = distance ÷ time.
- = 100 km ÷ 2 hours = 50 km/h.
Check it backwards
50 km/h × 2 hours = 100 km — the distance we started with.
Questions people also ask
Is this speed or velocity?
Strictly, this divides distance by time, which gives speed. Velocity also needs a direction — if you have one, the number is the same and the direction is yours to state.
