Velocity Vector Formula
Say the actual velocity of the object is v1 and the actual velocity of the viewer is v2.
Velocity vector formula. The simple velocity formula only involves 2 values. The idea of a velocity vector comes from classical physics. Constant velocity is a vector. In the notation of the velocity formula v avg is the objects average velocity while dx is the amount of change in the objects position referred to as displacement.
Velocity v displacementtime dxdt thus velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. Formula the average velocity formula in case dx is the displacement vector and dt is the time interval of displacement is the following. Using pythagorean theorem we can find magnitude as v2vx2vy2 taking the square root of the above equation we can determine the magnitude of the total velocity vector as vsqrtvx2vy2. Then the relative velocity of the object with respect to the viewer in motion vr v1 v2 now while calculating the difference between v1 and v2 we will use the vector addition process but with a tweak.
Therefore the velocity is 8. X0 is the beginning position of the object at time t0 and xf is the final position of the object at time tf. Use the equation vy v sin theta to find the y coordinate of the velocity. The velocity formula describes the relationship between time and distance.

If an object a is moving with velocity vector v and an object b with velocity vector w then the velocity of object a relative to object b is defined as the difference of the two velocity vectors. By representing the position and motion of a single particle using vectors the equations for motion are simpler and more intuitive.
Use the equation vx v cos theta to find the x coordinate of the original velocity vector. The velocity can be calculated using the equation shown above where the displacement is 8 meters over a period of 520 seconds. Suppose the position of a particle at time t is given by the position vector sts1ts2ts3t. V a relative to b v w displaystyle boldsymbol vatext relative to bboldsymbol v boldsymbol w.
