What is velocity? (article) | Khan Academy
Your notion of velocity is probably similar to its scientific definition. You know that a large displacement in a small amount of time means a large velocity and that velocity has units of …
What is acceleration? (article) | Khan Academy
Acceleration is the name we give to any process where the velocity changes. Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or …
Instantaneous speed and velocity (video) | Khan Academy
The 'V' represents velocity, the 'a' represents acceleration and 'd' represents displacement, and the 'Δ' represents change in displacement. Sometimes, people write another letter in place of …
Acceleration (video) | Motion | Khan Academy
Velocity is a change in position over a period of time and a position has units of meters and the period of time has units of seconds so velocity has units of meters/second.
Drift velocity - formula & derivation (video) | Khan Academy
Let's derive the drift velocity formula (v = eEt/m), in terms of relaxation time. Drift velocity is the average velocity with which, the electrons drift in the opposite direction of the field.
Angular motion variables (video) | Khan Academy
So down here we'll define a similar quantity, but it's going to be the angular velocity, which is defined analogously to the regular velocity. If regular velocity is displacement per time, the …
Angular momentum (video) | Khan Academy
If we have some mass, m, and it is moving with some velocity, let's say the magnitude of that velocity we say is v, we know that this object right over here has momentum.
Instantaneous velocity and speed from graphs review
When people use the words speed or velocity, they usually mean instantaneous velocity or instantaneous speed. Average velocity and speed account for motion occurring over a time …
Review of 1D motion (video) | Khan Academy
By definition. velocity is rate of change of displacement. Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.
Projectile at an angle (video) | Khan Academy
Change in velocity, in the vertical direction, or in the y-direction, is going to be our final velocity, negative five meters per second, minus our initial velocity, minus five meters per second, …
