Free velocity calculator to compute speed, distance, or time using the formula v = d/t. Supports multiple units with automatic conversions.

Calculate Velocity, Distance, or Time Instantly

Our free velocity calculator helps you solve physics problems involving speed, distance, and time. Whether you're calculating how fast something is moving, how far it traveled, or how long a journey takes, this tool provides instant results with unit conversions.

What Is Velocity?

Velocity measures the rate of change of position with respect to time. Unlike speed (a scalar), velocity is a vector quantity that includes direction. The basic formula v = d/t relates velocity (v), distance (d), and time (t). This calculator handles average velocity calculations for practical applications.

Velocity Formula

v = d / t (Velocity = Distance / Time)

Frequently Asked Questions

Speed is a scalar quantity measuring how fast something moves (magnitude only). Velocity is a vector that includes both magnitude and direction. A car going 60 mph north has a different velocity than one going 60 mph south, though both have the same speed.
