How do you calculate the average velocity?

How do I calculate average velocity while accelerating?

  • An object accelerates from 0 to 200 m/s in 8 seconds. What is the formula to calculate the average velocity using only this information?

  • Answer:

    Well, assuming it accelerated smoothly, the average velocity is simply half the total... Think of it like this: After 1 second, the object was going 25m/s. So you could add 0 and 25 as two points on a line and find that the average (divided by 2) is 12.5m/s. Similarly, the average speed here is 100m/s.

Average velocity is (initial velocity + final velocity )/2 = (0 + 200)/2 = 100m/s
