Velocity

Velocity is defined as the derivative Eric Weisstein's World of Math of position with respect to time,

(1)

For one-dimensional motion,

(2)

(3)

Conversions between common units of velocity include 1 mi h-1 = 0.447 m s-1and 1 km h-1 = 0.278 m s-1.

In terms of the angular velocity ,


In magnitude,

(4)

These equations hold only for , where c is the speed of light. For relativistic motion,

(5)

Now use
