Here's how velocity changes when displacement is halved but time remains constant:

Understanding the Relationship

* Velocity: Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. It's calculated as:

* Velocity (v) = Displacement (d) / Time (t)

The Impact

If you halve the displacement (d) while keeping the time (t) the same, you are directly halving the numerator in the velocity equation.

Therefore, the velocity will also be halved.

Example

* Initial: Displacement = 10 meters, Time = 2 seconds, Velocity = 10/2 = 5 meters per second

* After Change: Displacement = 5 meters, Time = 2 seconds, Velocity = 5/2 = 2.5 meters per second
