Average Velocity Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the initial velocity of the object in meters per second (m/s).
2. Enter the final velocity of the object in meters per second (m/s).
3. Enter the time taken for the motion in seconds (s).
4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the average velocity.
5. The result will be displayed in meters per second (m/s).

Working Principle

The average velocity is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the initial and final velocities when the acceleration is constant. This is a simplified approach and works well for uniformly accelerated motion.

Formula

Average Velocity = (Final Velocity + Initial Velocity) / 2

Example

If a car accelerates from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 5 seconds, the average velocity would be:

Average Velocity = (30 m/s + 10 m/s) / 2 = 20 m/s

Important Notes

• This calculator assumes constant acceleration.
• For more complex motion, other methods of calculating average velocity may be required.
• Ensure all inputs are in consistent units (m/s for velocity and s for time).
