  • Calculating Velocity: A Step-by-Step Guide with Example
    Here's how to calculate the velocity:

    Understanding Velocity

    Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.

    * Speed: How fast an object is moving.

    * Direction: The way an object is moving.

    Calculation

    1. Speed:

    * Distance = 240 km

    * Time = 4 hours

    * Speed = Distance / Time = 240 km / 4 hours = 60 km/h

    2. Direction: West

    Answer: The car's velocity is 60 km/h west.
